set the pen to a certain color, get pen color, set costume to a specific color?
i honestly don't think there is or was a lot of reason in the first place except "everything must be first class" and there aren't a lot of uses for colors anyway
If you put your head to it, you'll think of at least 20 ways to use them
we're in different time zones, or you posted that at 9 pm, I was going to bed
uh, but how could you use them
hello, I see that people are taking days to respond so please pay more attention.
i tweaked and added some things in @wunder_wulfe's color block library, and i think it came out pretty good!
any thoughts?
ProjectName=Color%20Blocks
Awesome
Ooh, I like this:
but I'm not convinced about this:
Shouldn't adding black to something leave it unchanged?
RGB values, your eyes may be tricking you.
No. The block claims to be mixing additively, but instead it's averaging.
That seems... ...odd
I decided to use averaging instead but forgot to make it say that in the help screen. I'll update it.
Also
That wasn't by me, credit to @wunder_wulfe
Imma try to find some glitches with the code. (what is the latest version?)
Why? (I'm not arguing, just trying to find a good chain of reasoning for some choice!)
I don't really know, I just associated it with averaging for some reason and went with that. I didn't question it, or really think about it at the time, but I think averaging is a good algorithm. It behaves like an additive algorithm in most cases, but then it also does things like yellow + black = beige (Is that beige? Whatever the name is for dark yellow) rather than just yellow. Which would make more sense because black would probably make things darker.
Same link. If I wanted to change the link, I would update the original post as well.
If it were paint. The way you make something darker in light is to reduce its light. Still, I see that "adding black" is a compelling metaphor. More thinking to do...
Should I just make it additive instead?
(I'm more inclined to stick with averaging... because this happens for some reason??)
If I knew the right answer I'd tell you. :~/
Photoshop provides these blending modes:
What do these mean?
Hmm, let's see... Yellow is red plus green. What should happen if you add more red is that you have red>255, so all three of RGB should be shrunk by the same amount. I'm guessing what you did is shrink the red but not shrink the green.
