HiPhiSch Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Sorry for taking away the "Kill Color" name first. I would really be interested in the source code if possible. Nice plugin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Tech / STUART Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Stuart: Color Reaper is a bit... fanboyish, don't you think? Like your 10-yr-old makes a drawing of a robot with missiles and calls it Color Reaper. Oh well it might be just my imagination! ...Why would a "robot with missiles" be called "Color Reaper"? "Color Reaper" makes sense in the context of the plugin, since it reaps a color from the image. Adding "Grim" as a prefix isn't a particularly descriptive adjective. Grim Color Reaper is a nice name IMO, but I'm sure it's not for everyone's taste (what is?). "Color To Transparency"? I really think this should just replace the current "Chroma Key" plugin, since it does the same operation except with a greater range of inputs.

LaSallian Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thank you all for the help, Grim color Reaper worked a treat for me! Appreciate that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim8s Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The idea is that it completely extinguishes the color, not only through alpha but through color modification also. So I tried to convey that through the naming too I like the name "Color Extinguisher". Too bad the skull icon wouldn't really apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg135 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Hey Jotaf, Thanks for the plugin....really useful. Regards Greg Edited August 24, 2011 by Greg135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotaf Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the nice words guys I'm sorry I didn't reply for a long time. I enabled e-mail notification when someone replies here, so hopefully this won't happen a lot in the future. So, it turns out that the original plug-in is no longer compatible with PDN. I fixed it, and also decided to make it open-source! This way I can take contributions to improve this, and maybe it will also help improve other plug-ins with this sort of alpha handling. Unfortunately the forum doesn't let me attach any files (!) so I put it in a file hosting site that I've used for some time and find tolerable: Edit: Attachments magically started working again, go figure! You can just check the top post of this thread to download the attachment. This includes the DLL and source code (you can open it with CodeLab). Of course I'd prefer to attach the files here, if anyone has any idea about what's happening...

yellowman Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 @ jotaf, thank you very, your plugin is among the most favorites to me, I am using it since the first release and almost in every PDN work, it is really so useful with great results. I appreciate your work and efforts. Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Unfortunately the forum doesn't let me attach any files (!) ... Did you try ZIPping it? I bet that would work - the forum doesn't recognise some file types.

Jotaf Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 @Yellowman: Thanks for the support, I'm glad you found it useful! @Ego Eram Reputo: Weird, it worked now!

Djisves Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That's weird. Up to v3.5.9 I've had no problems with compatibility at all. And I use it a lot! I'm still to dowload v3.5.10 but, reading the changelog, don't expect any problems with that either. Still, it's always nice to have a recent update. Thank you Jotaf. For sure I'll be using the new version as much as I did the previous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotaf Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 @Djisves: That's always great to hear Regarding the incompatibility, there was this report: When I loaded the old code in the new CodeLab release it wouldn't compile anymore, so I had to make a few fixes. Dunno if the DLL fared any better, but anyway as APIs evolve there's always some fixin' to do... Quote Jotaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekysam Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I also made a version that includes a color wheel: <Removed URL> Edited April 12, 2012 by Ego Eram Reputo Quote Eekysam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm sure you have good intentions, however you should always contact the plugin author and get permission before making changes to someone else's plugin. This is especially true if you intend publically release the results.

Jotaf Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I didn't use the color wheel because I think that, for most color removal jobs, you probably prefer to use the Color Picker, to choose a color that already exists in the image. Because of that I gave the option of primary/secondary color (and black and white which are very common backgrounds). But if you want to share a version with the color wheel it's ok by me, I'm sure some folks will find it useful Quote Jotaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim100361 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 OK I've been reluctant to use this as I was concerned about inadvertent changes. I've seen others recommend this plugin several times, especially to delete a color. So for those of you who have used this, correct me if I'm wrong... in the first example picture on the first page of this thread where the grey background existed and was replaced w/transparency, wouldn't it replace that same grey color if it exists even in small bits on the same picture elsewhere? Essentially like using the magic wand in flood mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djisves Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You've probably tested it by now and my answer is too late to do you any good but, for the benefit of others reading this... Yes it would and Yes it is, only with much better control. I use this plugin all the time and love it. Thank you Jotaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aglaie Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi guys. Please tell me if i can also use grim colour reaper on added canvas. I have an image, which already has transparant background but when i add canvas (to write some extra info on) the canvas is white, but to put it on a website i need it to be transparant as well.

Pixey Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi Algaie and Welcome. I hope I can answer your question. If you have 'added a layer' and it is white, simply use Ctrl A and then Ctrl X to make the layer transparent.

dug Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Welcome, do what Pixey says but then you have to" save as" png. to keep you work transparent. Hope I've not confused things. Quote MY GALLERYD.A.TheRawAtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
