flashk Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hello, I'm having trouble performing a very basic task with the latest version of Paint.NET (3.36). I want to use the paint bucket tool to set the RGBA color of a region. However, when I use the color picker tool after painting the region, the color value is not the same as the color I painted with. The following steps demonstrate my problem: [*:vzbk7c2m]Create a new image[*:vzbk7c2m]Set primary RGB color to (179,179,179) and the alpha to 1[*:vzbk7c2m]Select the paint bucket tool[*:vzbk7c2m]Set blend mode to overwrite[*:vzbk7c2m]Apply paint bucket to image[*:vzbk7c2m]Use color picker on image[*:vzbk7c2m]Selected RGB color is (255,255,255), NOT (179,179,179) I'm new to Paint.NET so I'm sure I'm doing something really dumb. Does anybody know how to set the exact RGBA color of a region? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 OK reading required RGB to HSV color conversion precision is the term you need for researching this on the Internet. As far as I can make out its the rounding down that occurs between the two different types of algorithms. Oh I do so hope I don't get pawnd on this one, its how I understood this. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
