ReMake Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) This plugin can be useful for selecting objects in the image or for creation a color mask of object. The plugin is based on the script of Color Target plugin by rwp80. See Color Range effect topic. User Interface: Short tutorial (the original image from http://trueimages.ru/img/a2/f3/12/6d5ae ... f9249a.jpg) 1. Open the image, duplicate a layer, deselect the lower layer. With Color Picker ( ) , define the necessary color. 2. Apply the Color Range effect. Use the controls until you get a good result. 3. Select an object with the Magic Wond ( ). Invert selection (Ctrl+I) and cut the artefacts (Ctrl+X). Use the Eraser ( ) and Paintbrush ( ), if necessary. Then again select the object with the Magic Wond ( ). 4. Uncheck the top layer, and select the bottom layer. Apply to the selection Hue / Saturation adjustment or Saturation RGB effect. Compare results: Before After EDIT: More information see How To Use Color Range effect. I want to know: is the Brightness Tolerance control is useful? If it's useful, in what range? Under which submenu of the menu Effects it's necessary to place this effect? Edited June 9, 2016 by ReMake 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djisves Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Interesting! Thank you very much, ReMake. Some will know by now that I have a soft spot for "Color" plugins. ... Under which submenu of the menu Effects it's necessary to place this effect? Isn't "Color" the obvious answer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMake Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 ... Isn't "Color" the obvious answer? Perhaps. Let it be Color, unless other proposals. That is really cool @Remake - it's magical how it works - thank you . ReMake! Thank you very much. Thanks for testing and sharing of your works.

Pixey Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I still want to know : is the Brightness Tolerance control is useful? I would say it's absolutely critical to have this, as it aids in the fine selection of the area you want to color . 1 How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Maximilian Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Thank you, ReMake! It looks like a useful tool and I'll certainly give it a try within these days!

Nai Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This is the plugin I'm waiting for ! Here are what happened when I'd rather use color range to do Pleasantville Effects : ( Using Black & White Effect on selected area ) It's better than using magic wand alone. Look at what happened when I 'blew up' the picture to 200 % zoom : Still fine and no grotty colour gap/border which always happened when I used magic wand only. With this plugin, Paint.NET is able to do the things that Adobe PS does. Congratulations, ReMake ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this effect is similar to PhotoShop's function Color Range. Very interesting find, Nai! It's always great when a plugin has more than one possible way to be used I completely agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 There is no need to define the color of the object with a Color Picker and a Color Wheel. In many cases it's enough to choose the color close to color of object from a set of colors. I have added in the User Interface a set of colors. Now the User Interface looks like this. See the new version of effect in the first post. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've just discovered the plugin can also be used to make a sketchy outline or stencil of a picture when black is selected. It may work with other colors too, but I feel it works better with black. I'll post an example later today Maximilian! Excellent work. Well done. Thank you, Seerose! I completely agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nai Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) How about adding up highlights, midtone and shadow to the colour options ? Edited March 16, 2016 by Nai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nai Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 This is probably not the same thing. In the next few days I 'll look into this question. Yup, it's something from Adobe PS. Anyway, I've tried to adapt high-key glow PS tutorial using white and grey options, and it's give almost similar results. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilian Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Here are two examples of what I mentioned in my previous post. Stencils can also be made with Red ochre's Two Tone Threshold, but the method is different of course. With this plugin I select black as the color, and set the brightness slider to some value around the middle or quite below the middle. It's good to have another plugin to do stencils Example 1: Example 2: Edited July 16, 2018 by Maximilian fixed broken links 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
