Color Generator
Generates a single color using a color picker control. Useful in conjunction with a layer node’s
ability to mix a color with an image using different composite modes.
 Color picker: You can click the color picker and use the resulting color controls to
choose a color to be generated.
 Eyedropper: You can also click the eyedropper to sample a color from the image in the
Viewer; the eyedropper always samples the image from the input of the current node,
regardless of how the current image looks.
Color Palette (Studio Version Only)
More of an analysis tool than a creative effect, this plug-in offers four Display modes from the
pop-up menu at top: Color Palette, Shadow Region, Midtone Region, and Highlight Region.
 Display Mode: A pop-up that provides four different options.
–
Color Palette: By default this displays the eight most dominant colors in the image as
rectangular swatches along the bottom, and the eight most dominant colors in each
of the three main zones of image tonality (shadow, midtone, highlight) are displayed
as smaller rectangular patches just above. This lets you see, at a glance, the color
palette of any given shot, and this can be output for intrepid art directors who find
ituseful.
–
Shadow Region, Midtone Region, or Highlight Region: Displays a visual preview of
which parts of the image fall into which regions (as currently defined by the Shadow
and Highlight Threshold sliders). These previews are displayed with the current tonal
region appearing saturated and all other parts of the image appearing black.
 Number of Colors: Defines the number of isolated colors. This can be set to display
anywhere from 8 to 24 patches.
 Shadow and Highlight Threshold: The definition of where shadows, midtones, and
highlights end and begin is controlled by the Shadow and Highlight Threshold sliders.
