Color Balance+ (works like Photoshop)

[dpy]

08/19/2009

changed the name of the plug in into "Color Balance+" from "Color Balance".

corrected a mistake of the spelling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

My 3rd plugin (in this forum)

I created the plugin that works like Photoshop's "Color Balance".

Menu setting

Adjustments -> Color Balance+

The adjustment range is (-100) - 0 - (+100)

"highlight" and "shadows"

In both mode , this plugin works like Photoshop.

Maybe, it is really the same as the result of Photoshop's adjustment.

"Midtones"

In this mode , the result of this plugin's adjustment is a little bit different from Photoshop.

I was not able to build an equation to completely accord with Photoshop's "Color Balance".

However, it's OK , because this is logically correct, too.

Download　

This is made by "Code Lab".

Thank you , BoltBait.

Awesome. Loving the ability to choose to modify Highlights, Midtones and Shadows. Thanks!

[Lance McKnight]

Is this the new version of BoltBait's Color Balance? They both are named the same and I am a bit confused. Would you mind clarifying?

I will download it in a heartbeat, just need some clarification.

no , this is another plug in . but , the purpose of the adjustment is the same , and so , same name･････

How about "ColorBalanceShop"?

or seriously "Tone Balance"?

Great, I am downloading it, what about name it Color Balance+, I think we need both, BoltBait's and this.

thank you! and good name. give me thinking time

[BoltBait]

With this around, why would you need mine? This is way better.

Maybe it's time for mine to retire.

[oma]

could some one explain difference between color mixer and this plugin please.

ciao OMA

[Tanel]

could some one explain difference between color mixer and this plugin please.

They serve quite different purpose. Color balance shifts global balance of hues while Color mixer can apply different adjustments (saturation, hue shift, brightness, contrast) selectively based on original hue.

[oma]

thanks Tanel I didn't understand that fully, but your answer at leasts let me know I need to research what global balance is in relation to color shifting.

off to do my homework/research.

To BoltBait

When I create this plugin, your program had a lot of useful information.

Thank you.

To tanel

explain thank you.

Nah, i think both of these can be used depending on what you wish to do. Your Color Balance gives a stronger result than dpy's. dpy's can be used for finer adjustments if needed.

Not to be picky, but dpy, you spelt "Highlights" wrong. you wrote "highlits".

[BoltBait]

Not to be picky, but dpy, you spelt "Higlights" wrong. you wrote "highlits".

Not to be picky, LFC, but you also spelled "Highlights" wrong.

....what about name it Color Balance+, I think we need both, BoltBait's and this.

I agree, let's keep both available.

What is going to confuse users is using the same name for both, so can we please have a point of difference? I like Yellowman's suggested Color Balance+ :!:

[Goonfella]

Just downloaded.

Excellent plug in but I agree that Colour Balance+ would be a better name. Both are side by side in the adjustments menu and it`s easy to pick the wrong one. :wink:

[dpy]

Highlits ... WAHAHAHA! dpy's English is always another world. :oops:

I changed "highlits" and plugin name.

thank you , everybody!

[Lance McKnight]

I played with this plugin last night, and I like it a lot.

May I make a suggestion? Could you make a single thread with all of your plugins and links to your individual plugins? Much like Pyrochild's or BoltBait's index of plugins, and it seems to be very helpful.

[Blooper]

Thanks a heap!

@Lance: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30570, it's a workaround, but it works. (atleast for most of his plugins)

@dpy: Thanks.

[dpy]

My plug-in is only three now.

If I can create a lot of useful plug-ins, I want to do suggestion of Lance.

I want to get help of EER until the moment. :wink:

Thank you everybody.

[Lance McKnight]

No problem at all, dpy. Boude, I was thinking of something like Simon Brown's collection of plugins actually. The index is awesome, but if you know who made what, then it's quicker to go straight to the horse's mouth.

love the plugin man works great!
