Color Mixer

Well, the time has come.. Max 2024 deprecated IDisplayGamma and removed its' properties.
Max 2024 has a Color Converter Utility.

For max 2024 you can use the colorMixerQt.ms file which shouldn't have this issue.

Thanks for updating this, appreciated.

I wonder though if this code seems a little redundant maybe?

on cpResult changed val do
    cpResult.color = getColorAtPos (int(dncTriBtn1.pos.x - 105))

It kind of says, "when I'm changed, change me again"

I've put that line into the next event handler down so that changing the % spinner value changes the output colour....

on spnPercent changed val do
(
	local ctrl = btn_controls[(0.01 * btn_controls.count) * (100 - val) + 1]
	dncTriBtn1.pos.x = dncTriBtn2.pos.x = 106 + ctrl.Location.X + ctrl.Width/2
	cpResult.color = getColorAtPos (int(dncTriBtn1.pos.x - 105))		
)

Best regards.

Cool, thanks for spotting that :) I've included that bit in the refactored version, if you spot any other problem/oversight, don't hesistate to let me know, I really value that.

IIRC it was there to prevent one from accidentally changing the result color but it was a stupid decision eitherway :)

Further to my last post I think I have found the error....

Changed:

fn getStepColor clr clr_step mode =
	case mode of
	(
		#rgb : gammaCorrect (clr + clr_step) gamma
		#hsv : gammaCorrect (hsvToClr [clr.h + ............
	)

To:

fn getStepColor clr clr_step mode = 
	case mode of
	(
		#rgb : gammaCorrect (clr + clr_step) gamma
		#hsv : gammaCorrect (convertHsv2rgb [clr.h +  ............
	)

Is this correct? It seems to work ok.

I did find a couple more [ minor ] issues though in the process, see image for details.

Regards.

Ran the .ms script from editor...all fine until I click the HSV button.
The image shows the error produced.

I acknowledged the error and closed the rollout.
Ran the script again and the same error occurred instantly.

Closed Max and re-opened, ran script again....instant error again.

Using:
Win 7u SP1 x64
Max 2013 pu6 x64

Regards.

another issue here ! the (result color) has bouble gamma !?

Thank you for this script , I noticed that the color in slider bar have gamma 1.0 even if the gamma set to 2.2 !!?
so , any fix for this issue .

Thanks for using it, I've updated the script to handle gamma correction.

its working fine now , thank you for quick replay .

Hi,

I've just installed this script by dragging the .mcr file in to max. When i go to customize user interface, the only thing listed in the advanced drop down is Render Info Strip, when i drag this on to a toolbar and run it, it open the color mixer!

Could you check this scripts .mcr to see if this is true or not.

Cheers.

You are right, I've attached the corrected version now.

Thanks for sorting it asap.

It would be nice to see the values as well. And possibly ad the hex number/letter as seen here.

so we could paste from photoshop to this.

Thanks for input, I will look into it ASAP.

Great work SwordSalyer,
This is unique but very creative script. Great Idea.

Thanks for sharing the code as well
