redsea300 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 This is the first year for me using RGB. I am doing RGB floods and 12 CCR's. My question is for the floods. I know how to do a color fade and change which color i want to start and end with. My question is when doing just a on color, besides manually changing each red,blue,green intensity and experimenting. How do you get to the color chart like the one used in the color fade button.Thanks in advanceDon C.
Don Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Use the color fade tool, but instead of two colors, have both the start and the end color the same. If you make both ends purple, then you will have purple. (as opposed to a fade between two colors.)
cmoore60 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Don,Are you using the floods as 3 seperate channels? Why not group them into a RGB group? Then you should be able to manipulate them just like a CCR channel.Chuck

(I assume that an RGB Channel is the same thing as "RGB Group" that Chuck mentions being used for CCRs).
redsea300 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks for the comments.Chuck, I am using them as a RGB group and not separate channels. I will try using the fade tool and set both ends to the same color. I still think there should be a separate tool button to set a single color instead of using the fade tool in my opinion.Thanks again to everyone. This forum is the best.Don C.

This forum is the best.Don C.Even just a single button within the fade tool that allowed you to just choose a single solid color for the whole bar (both ends), rather than having to copy the one end to the other. As long as you could keep the fade tool open (and not have to close the fade tool to switch to the solid color tool) either would be fine. Probably the annoying part from what I recall is that you have to choose the colors first, and then choose the blocks on the sequence grid to fill. Seemed that I often had a set of blocks selected in the grid and then opened the fade tool and realized that I had to re-select the blocks again in order to "insert" the color into the sequence. Maybe within the fade tool there should be an "Apply to selection" button.
ItsMeBobO Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 It the 'enter' key. All tools work this way. If you have an area selected and then decide to change tools or tool settings. Press enter when you are ready without re-selecting.
