fixed color source brush min max

 

Test of two new new Fixed Color 1,2 color source options i just added to the pre_V6 paint synthesizer.  A very common usage pattern is to setup Fixed Colors 1 and 2 to correspond to some kind of color offset.  Like the luminance gradient with -30 luminance for FC 1 and +30 luminance for FC 2 as shown above with a gradient brush load paint preset.  This is great for adding local color dynamics into the paint, but it's very artificial relative to the actual local color dynamics of the source image.

The test below is using the brush localized min source color for FC1 and the max source color for FC2.  You can see how it better tracks the actual local color dynamics of the source the 2 examples are working off of.  If the local source color dynamics are flat, then the gradient load brush paint tracks that with the new Fixed Color options.  And vice versa for source areas with noticeable local color transitions.
