jouno53 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello, in a lot of tutorials I've seen people talk about "setting your curves" or colors to pictures. I'm just wondering how you work with the RGB curves and how you get the color or colors you want out of it. Thanks! Quote Who the Son sets free, is free indeed.

jouno53 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok thanks, I read it. I'm having trouble getting one color though. I'm trying to get green and purple on an image... What I don't understand is that when you put a green point on the graph, the picture doesn't show any sign of becoming more green; it actually turns more purple. What I'm asking is how do you manipulate the graph to make different colors? Quote Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Try something like this. Just play around with all the setting and see what happens. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jouno53 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks again, I'll try that. Quote Who the Son sets free, is free indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jouno53 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok, I tried something like that, but when I set the purple, it gave me green. Here's the pic: Is there any way I can make the white area purple, or add some purple into it...?[/img] Quote Who the Son sets free, is free indeed.

Ash Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Look at the pic I posted. Uncheck Green, Pull Red and Blue at the same time. One point down and the other up. Look at the pic. Hope this make sense to you. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I see the problem, you start out with green already. My settings are for a pic with no colors yet. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I could try to put a tutorial together on the basic use of Curves.

The_Lionhearted Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 A curve to the left of the diagonal makes that color lighter...a curve to the right makes that color darker. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RGB just Luminosity split up into colors? Oh, and CMD...that would rock. I'm sure even the "experts" can learn something by elaborating on the basics.

jouno53 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thank you everyone! I fully appreciate your help, as I am new to Paint.net. I finally got what I wanted too! P.S.

Tanel Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 P.S. I think it's a great idea to create a tutorial on Curves... Curves is universal tool, not PdN specific. Simply google for RGB+curves+tutorial and here you go - 1st match, perfect tutorial: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/photoshop-curves.htm Same goes for Levels tool.
