Hi Cameyo,

I’ve just downloaded the new version of the color tool - looks very interesting!

Will try it out this week. Most curious to try to the slide-mixers. Nice work.

Sven

PS. I’m working on a color tool too, which I’ll share with you when I get a few more things working on it… and the help screens written - It’s called Kolor Lab. :smiley:

Ciao Sven,
thanks for try…
I’m glad to see other script on color ;), i have some ideas about CMYK, but i can’t be able to find the correct formula for conversion…I like to known the Photoshop formula!!!
Have a nice day.

Thanks Cameyo and Marcus…this just keeps getting better and better!!

Hey Cameyo, finding the complement of a color (when we are dealing with additive mixing of light, not subtractive mixing of pigment) is simple if you have the RGB components. Just subtract the RGB components from the RGB components of white (255, 255, 255) or (1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f) depending on the way you are representing component ranges.

For example, the complement of red (255, 0, 0) is cyan (0, 255, 255). The complement of green (0, 255, 0) is magenta (255, 0, 255). The complement of orange (255, 192, 0) is a bright blue (0, 63, 255).

Thanks!!!
I known the code to complement, triadic, diadic, split complements;) …the problem is to find a place to put these colors on interface:D

p.s. now the script is under development by Markus…

Thanks Cameyo and Marucs for your work. I am sure it is going to come in handy one day. Cheers.

Thanks Frenchy,
i have some problem to connect to this forum after restyling…very slow for me.
I can’t wait for post or read other threads…
maybe using Teleport…

ciao

p.s. many, many lurkers around …

sry… I normally hate to bring old threads up again, but this one reminded me too much of a problem I’ve had with Photoshop since… well, always really…

My question: does anyone know if there’s a (free) plugin for Photoshop that does the same as cameyos small zbrush script here?

I’ve always found Photoshop palettes to be annoyingly small and cumbersome… Would be forever thankfull if someone could point me to a small tool that would help me out abit…

thanks

Hi Peter,

which functions do you need in Photoshop?

cameyo

hi cameyo

I’ve been painting digitally for several years and it strikes me odd that nobody else have produced such a feature for photoshop… nor even requested one… as far as i know…

Most of my requests are based on stuff I’ve found in other programs such as zbrush, deeppaint, Painter etc. But I’ve not to this day seen a tool that provides the best of all worlds…

What it all boils down to, is the need to have more precise color picking controls in Photoshop. Photoshop does have a rather complete set already but the way you access it is just too slow and cumbersome. Espeically if you are a 2d/3d artist like myself.

What I had in mind is rougly something like this…

A nice layout of a few large colorwheels would be great. Some 'sticky’sliders that will control the brightness, saturation and hue respectwould be awesome to have. Some of the stuff you have in your small scripts would be invaluable too - like complimentary/oppostie colors, harmony colors etc…

Do you ask because you have time to do such a plugin yourself (here’s hoping) or is because you know of such a plugin?

If its for the former reason I could produce a mockup of a layout for you decribing in more detail what I had in mind.

cant wait to get feedback… :slight_smile:
Until then,
;Peter

Hi Peter,

It is not free and it’s not a plugin :wink: but you might take a look at Color Cache which will import/output Photoshop swatches and has various color mixing and palette creation options.

Also I’m working on a zscript ZPalette (a companion to ZSwatch) which will import Photoshop swatches as well as create large palettes for use in ZBrush and outputting as a psd file but it won’t be ready for a while…

Hi Peter,
i think the best program to works with color is ColorImpact (www.tigercolor.com).
I wrote small plugins for PSP some years ago … but the time is gone ;).
Sorry, i don’t known where is the plugin for you.

cameyo

Its me again, just from my home computer! :wink:

too bad… I was just getting my hopes up… :slight_smile:

I’m sure those programs are maginicent, but I’m not looking for something that advance. Just something more userfriendly than what Photoshop currently offers… Besides as I understand neither of those programs incorporates directly into photoshop… Am I right?

best,
Peter
