how to smoothen only the high intensity pixel in a color image

@Image Analyst i want to smoothen or reduce the pixel value high pixels can anyone help me with the code part

Just get a mask where the bright regions are, then blur the image and then replace only where it's blurred and in the mask

Something like (untested)

% Separate into individual color channels.
[r, g, b] = imsplit(rgbImage);
% Get mask of where the bright pixels are.
brightMask = rgb2gray(rgbImage) > 220; % Or whatever value you want.
% Blur entire image.
windowWidth = 15;
kernel = ones(windowWidth, windowWidth) / windowWidth^2;
blurryR = imfilter(r, kernel);
blurryG = imfilter(g, kernel);
blurryB = imfilter(b, kernel);
% Replace mask pixels with smoothed/blurred ones
r(brightMask) = blurryR(brightMask);
g(brightMask) = blurryG(brightMask);
b(brightMask) = blurryB(brightMask);
% Reconstruct output image from individual color channels.
outputImage = cat(3, r, g, b);

Thank you so much sir

To dim the bright regions (ONLY) by 20 gray levels in each color channel, do this:

% Replace mask pixels with smoothed/blurred ones
r(brightMask) = blurryR(brightMask) - 20;
g(brightMask) = blurryG(brightMask) - 20;
b(brightMask) = blurryB(brightMask) - 20;
% Reconstruct output image from individual color channels.
outputImage = cat(3, r, g, b);
