[Gimp-user] what does `colorize` do exactly?

[Sam Mathias <samuel mathias gmail com>]

Dear list,

Could someone explain the actual pixel-by-pixel operation GIMP performs
after gray-scaling the image when colorizing? I would specifically like to
know how the RGB value of a particular image is converted to a different
value that is similar but not exactly the same as the chosen HSV value.
Thanks!
