Change Extreme Colors

 

From this Change_Extreme_Colors05a.png   to this Change_Extreme_Colors05b.png

 

What's this?

I wanted a way to change the colors by selecting the extreme values (the darkest or the brightest). Here is the effect I just created for that.

 

This plugin was made using CodeLab v3.2.

 

 

Download it!

Plugin ChangeExtremeColors.dll

The MadJik's All plugins package is available!

How to install

Close Paint.net

 

Classic version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually:

C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects (please reverse / for correct path)

 

Microsoft Store version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually:

My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects (please reverse / for correct path)

 

You have to adapt for your language My Documents

 

 

 

How to use it

This image is created to test the effect. I suggest you to copy and paste it in paint.net to run the plugin and get familiar with the settings.

 

The sliders per channel define the range of colors to modify. And for each selected color you could increase/decrease with the amount for darkest or brightest.

 

The range around 128 is just between darkest and brightest. Default values of the interface make no modification to the image. You have to change something.

 

 

The User interface

This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Color.

Limit for Red/Green/Blue

Set the values per channel to define the range of colors to modify.

 

Same values (Red)

Checked by default. If checked the slider Red is used for all the sliders. Unchecked to be able to change Green and Blue.

 

Dark Colors

Checked by default. If checked the colors in the darkest range are modified.

 

Dark adjustment

Add/subtract the value to the colors in the darkest range are modified on each channel.

 

Light Colors

Checked by default. If checked the colors in the brightest range are modified.

 

Light adjustment

Add/subtract the value to the colors in the brightest range are modified on each channel.

 

Average/Maximum of channels

When “Same values” is checked the test of the color is made on the average of the channel or on the maximum value of each channel. Maximum is better for monochrome colors when one channel is 255 and others are 0.

 

 

The Examples:

Change_Extreme_Colors03.png  Change_Extreme_Colors03_UI.png

Voilà! Enjoy!

 

Let me see what you could do with it!

I haven't still a really usage for this, but found a little text bug: "Dark adjutment" and "Light adjutment".

 

Additional I suppose to move the sliders for green and blue Limit, if they are connected.

I don't get what you mean.

When connected, only the first channel is used (Red channel) for all (same value used for green and blue).

Perhaps @IRON67 meant that the sliders 'Limit Red/Green/Blue' should be linked like in 'Posterize' effect when 'Same values (Red)' is checked.

 

It's not affected to the work of effect, but visually will be look better (or as we are used to it).

CodeLab proposes to grey and freeze element(s) depending on the value of another.

 

@BoltBait & @toe_head2001 made very simplified creation of plug-ins in CodeLab.

 

When CodeLab will be able to apply all the IndirectUI rules, then

Do we even need Visual Studio anymore? :P

Never. I honestly have no intention to add the linked slider rule into CodeLab.

 

It already handles the Enable/Disable rule and the Wrapped value rule.  That's all you get.
