![]() ![]() ***** -> yes it does work, but the colour returned is always consistently brighter than the colour i am sampling, either within the DS viewport, within the DS UI (which gave the best result, but still wrong) or from my floating Irfanview bitmap. I wonder if that will work if i have my swatches on a bitmap shown in Irfanview with 'always on top' set. You could havea split screen with DS docked beside a photo and sample colours from the photo. If the application is not maximised it can pick up colour from anywhere on screen. I'll still buy DraagonStorm's color picker at some point, but for now this looks like it might solve my immediate problem. If i'm going to have a swatch sheet backdrop in the scene anyway - and it looks like every method mentioned so far requires that in some shape or form - then this is surely the easiest way of picking the colour and applying it directly to the channel i want. If you hold down shift and click on the colournarea 9as opposed to the values) of a colour widget you will get a cursor you can use to pick a screen colour by clicking. ![]() ![]() In the absence of finding a ColorPicker.dsx or similar, i'll grab the picker you mentioned and just have to resign myself to preparing my swatches in photoshop beforehand Lab, RGB and Hex colours are easy to deal with but i'd rather not have to work with e.g. ![]() If i could change the swatches via a config file of some sort i would prefer to do it that way, i haven't located them yet but i'm getting the impression that those values are probably a small part of a huge file and if i replaced the file outright then i might ruin some other settings in the process.ĪND if they're stored in decimal format that would be unfortunate. If you have another image that you want to pick a color from, put it on a backdrop -)Īh yeah, i've had my eye on that for some time but wasn't sure exactly how useful it would be. In addition, I also used the Mesh Smoothing operation we discussed in the previous section, to further smoothen out my hair edges.Picks the color, any color, from the scene.
