Digital Light & Color

As a follow-up, out of curiosity I opened the Test Pattern > Color Chart and copied it to also do a program comparison. In PWP, all the "squares" show the gradual step fading from the center out while in PS (especially in the green and cyan), only the middle and next step fade is visible. ...

Although I have a new monitor that has not yet been calibrated (awaiting a few days delivery of colorimeter), I notice on this one as well as the previous one (NEC which had been calibrated, albeit a while ago) which I just replaced, that the tone/saturation of the same image is markedly different w...

Thanks Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan, I sort of figured so. By the way, not that it matters a lot as this operation would unlikely be done often, or at all perhaps, but I was doing up a bunch of Solid Color Overlay Composites (with a mask but I doubt the mask had anything to do with it) onto an image. The solid colors w...

I think I know the answer already but thought I would ask. I am Compositing multiple images, each time using the same (complex) mask, but each time I wish to subtract different part(s) of that mask. Under normal circumstance, using another image as the Overlay, I would just generate a second (Overla...

Is there any way to use Paint on an image, with certain parameters, then open a second image and use Paint > Last Settings without the actual paint being copied from the previous image? I would like to use the same line width/softness/opacity etc (but not the previously drawn lines) on multiple imag...

No worries. For the DS, Last Settings: - open an image and the DS dialogue > identify a mask > enter the parameters (change from default 10 to 50) > OK. - open the new image and the DS dialogue (Offset is back to 10) > identify (new) mask > Last Settings. The new mask overlay is shown on the image a...

Thanks Tony for the advice. Although I have yet to purchase one, I have had a look around at the various ones available, have sort of settled on a mid-road one (Spyder) and will likely be using the program (Palette Masters Ultimate) available from the manufacturer of the monitor (BenQ). I have heard...

Not necessarily a strictly PWP issue, however... I have had an NEC monitor for a thousand years. I also had a colorimeter that I used to calibrate it. After some time, the colorimeter was not recognized by the OS so I gave that up and just relied on the most recent settings (which are ancient by now...

Jonathan, Thanks for the quick response. The problem with Flood Fill is the edge mask is not perfectly formed/solid and has "bleed-through" areas which would allow the Fill to spread. But I will play with this idea. Not sure if we are on the same page regarding Last Settings - if I open th...
