Manual Color Correction

TUTORIAL WRITTEN BY WY OF DESIGNSBYLK ON NOV 23, 2012.

TUTORIAL WRITTEN USING PSPX2 WITH THE ASSUMPTION OF SOME KNOWLEDGE OF PSP.

This tutorial will teach you how to find the Manual Color Correction tool in PSPX2 and higher.

so for anyone using version PSPX2 or a newer version will not have the Manual Color Correction

tool button already in your tool palette.

any tutorial that resembles another tutorial is not intentional.

this tutorial will teach you how to write it into a script.

***********************************

so how you first find the button is by right clicking on your PSP window.

not any palette bar or working canvas.

so right click on your window and you should see something like below:

go down the menu and select Customize.

this following window will pop up:

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW

on the COMMANDS tab, scroll down the Categories column to find Unused Commands.

the Commands column will show, scroll down to find the Manual Color Correction.

now click on the Manual Color Correction and drag it up to one of your tool bars.

I put mine in the Standard tool bar.

now when you use it in a script or just use it for whatever you create, you will have it in an easy spot.

now open up anything and click the button.

you should see the window pop up like so:

CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW

in the lower right corner, you see the SOURCE and TARGET.

for the SOURCE, the lighter the color you choose, the lighter tone you will get no matter the target color you use.

mess with it to get the hang of it.

***********************************

now for the coding.

so once you are done with the script saved, open the code in Notepad.

scroll down and find the Manual Color Correction command.

remember, its important to keep the space and indentation.

copy this code and paste it right before the correction command:

# ButtonTypes = ( 'OK/Yes' )

App.Do( Environment, 'MsgBox', {

'Buttons': App.Constants.MsgButtons.OK,

'Icon': App.Constants.MsgIcons.Info,

'Text': 'select a color for the trim',

})

you can insert your message in the Text link, remember not to delete the apostrophes.

its highlighted in purple in the above code.

you should have something like the image below:

CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PREVIEW

and thats it. I hope I have helped you. :)
