Color Mixer v1.2 (2008-12-24)

This plugin is designed for fine color adjustments. It appears under Adjustments menu.
Download as part of my plugin pack.
Menu location: Adjustments.

Updated to version 1.2 (2008-12-24)!
Changes: few code optimizations.

Updated to version 1.1 (2008-08-31)!
- Compatibility fix for paint.net 3.36

You can adjust saturation, brightness, contrast and hue for each color (hue) range separately or all together.
Amount of adjustment between the ranges is changed gradually, so there is no sharp cut-off, for example between red and yellow.
Due to high precision calculations in the code, this plugin renders saturation and hue better than PdN's original Hue/Saturation effect. (the issue has been discussed here)

Example:
this pic asks for some saturation, but regular saturation adjustment is likely to make sky over-saturated. That's where Color Mixer comes handy.

Settings used:
Saturation: base 134, cyan 83, blue 74
Brightness: cyan -13, blue -13
Contrast: yellow -13, green -28

I may want to improve the UI soon, so far all your requests are welcome.
I have thought about placing all the hue nubs into a single continious hue-gradient bar.
Save/Load settings opton is also on my wishlist (wish I knew how to do it :wink:

).

This seems like a good plugin, and i'm sure this could have a lot of uses. Good job!
Downloading and installing now. Thanks!

Looks like Levels+. Or maybe Levels². :-)

I like it!

No, not a Levels plus. Perhaps Brightness/ Contrast#?

Nor levels nor C\B it's just like the man named it Color Mixer, although I would name it Color Equalizer just because it looks like a music equalizer

This plugin does wonders to help get rid of the "fresh from a grainy cameraphone" look...

Cool plugin, Thanks!

OMG. So many wonderful controls to play with. You are going to give me sleepless nights.
Great plug in. Thanks allot.

Thanks for support guys!

Just note that it still needs few improvements.
Beware that in *some* circumstances, especially when used on noisy photos, the brightness and contrast adjustments *may* bring up some nasty grain patterns at otherwise smooth looking areas (for example clouds). It's not a bug but I try to find some workaround later.
Saturation and hue controls are still ok to use (those were the main purpose of this plugin anyway).

Hi Tanel,

Thanks for a most useful plugin.
What overlapping effect, if any, is there between this plugin and the shadow/highlight plugin?

Regards,
David Tay
