VIDEO PAINT: CHAPTER TWO 39
Selecting colors from the Color Picker pop-up menu
The Color Picker pop-up menu allows you to select a new color to
replace the selected color square, or to choose from a range of Color
Pickers. Each Color Picker provides a different method for selecting
colors, and each is suitable for particular situations. (You can open the
Color Picker menu by right-clicking over any color square in Video
Paint.)
Using the Ulead Color Picker
Selecting the Ulead Color Picker command opens a dialog box which
displays a continuous color spectrum. The color spectrum shows hue, or
color, from top to bottom and luminance,
or the amount of brightness, from left to
right. When you move your mouse over
any colors, their respective RGB color
values are displayed at the bottom of the
dialog box and the color itself appears in the
left color square. If you click and hold
your mouse button over a color, a satura-
tion bar appears and allows you to select a
specific color. Releasing your mouse
selects the color, subsequently displaying it
in the right color square.
For a more precise color selection, you can choose your color by clicking
one of the colored tabs above the color spectrum. This displays a range of
colors similar to the color on the selected tab. From here, you can select
the exact color by clicking the desired color cell.
Note: To select a particular color, enter its RGB values in the RGB spin boxes to
the right of the Color Picker window.
