New script: ColorMask

[patthehorse]

The before and after is immense to me. All processing in PI.

It's certainly a very bold image now, Pat!

Hello Rick,

Is your ColorMask script v 0.7 the latest version and if not where can I find it?

Thanks
Jean

[RickS]

Hi Jean,

v0.7 is still the latest version.  I have a few more things I'd like to implement when I have time.  I'll upload any new versions to this thread.

Cheers,
Rick.

Hi Rick

I am trying to download your script, I see the small clip on the first page but it is not clickable for me. (Nothing happens)
I have tested with Firefox and IE. Are there any other place that I can download it from?

Can you please help me out

Regards
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

Did you try to download before you logged in to the forum?  If you're not logged in I don't think you can do downloads.  There's a copy here just in case that doesn't help: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qgol6hddkuxi8rv/ColorMask_0.7.zip?dl=0

Cheers,
Rick.

But I got it now, thanks Ricks

Kind regards

looking for some help installing color mask.  I have downloaded and unzipped the file.  I took the file and put it in SRC - scripts folder.  I can see the ColorMask_0.7.js in the folder but cannot see it under scripts utilites in Pixinsight.  when I click feature scripts and add I can see the color mask file but it is not highlighted to select.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks

Not sure what could be going wrong.  Have you tried putting it in another folder and then using the Add button to navigate there?  I keep my custom scripts in a PI Tools directory in my home directory.

Cheers,
Rick.

Rockwell I thought I had the same problem - in Mac OSX - I tried to add - but all the JS files were greyed out. I just double clicked a random file and it re-scanned the script directory and it appeared in the list

I'm having the same issue.  On my new MacBook Pro, I cannot add the color mask script to the scripts tab, it shows up grayed out.  I have tried by adding, rebuilding, placing it in a separate folder.  I can open it in the script editor and launch it from there, but cannot get it to show up in my scripts tab.

Is there an updated tutorial, I have installed 0.7 and I do not have options for things like "Curvature Mask" etc, and I have noticed, if I click on Magenta for example, and I then click on the "Start Hue" box to enter a value, it automatically selects "Red" again

It's not that it is automatically selecting red, it is reverting to the button layout as when you first start the script. Open the script and you will see red is highlighted but the hue parameters are zeros. When ever you make a manual change you override the button selection. So when you select magenta and make a hue change it is no longer true magenta. The red button being highlighted is just a default look for the buttons.

As to the Curve selection that has not been around for a while. I think Rick might have explained why it was removed in a post.

Here is all the versions I know about. There might have been some that I might have missed.

Hi Simon,

Mike is correct.  Clicking on one of the colour buttons will set appropriate start and end hue values.  If you change the start or end hue manually it will override the buttons.  The Red button gets highlighted as a default.  Maybe I should add a "manual" button to make it clearer what has happened.

I removed some of the original features like the Curvature mask because they weren't that useful in practice.

Cheers,
Rick.

Sorry, I haven't been able to reproduce this.  I don't think it is anything specific to the script.
