Download

Click here to download the latest 'Dave's SC Grading Monadic' macro set.

To insert this into your library, simply click on the 3-line 'hamburger' on the top right of the library panel, click on 'Import Macros...' and point it at the downloaded file. Then click on the layer for which you want a model and click once on the appropriate macro in the 'Dave's SC Grading Monadic' library group category. You can also drag and drop the .macros file onto the image area.

Discussion

This is a set of 24 macros that create a single Selective Colour adjustment layer, plus and HSL layer before and after this, to enable a wide range of colour shifts (although most change will be subtle tweaks of the chosen colour grading).

Colour grading typically reduces the number of colours while giving extra emphasis to selected colours. This macro set does this, with the specific principle of giving emphasis to a single colour. Colours available are all primary, secondary and tertiary colours. In order (at 30 degree steps around the colour wheel) these are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Spring, Cyan, Teal, Blue, Violet, Magenta and Rose.

It may be useful to review the macros using a colour wheel (single or four), copies of which are available in the free download of Dave's Test Cards.

Note: At the time of production, if you run a macro when a group is selected, the group will be rasterized (turned into a pixel layer), which can be a real problem. This bug has been reported and may get fixed in future. In the mean time, if you have a group that this macro creates selected (is blue), click Select/Deselect Layers before running another macro.

Macros

The macros are named in the format 'Monadic XXX N', where XXX is the colour, as above, with N being 1 or 2. The '1' macro stretches the target colour to 90 degrees (45 degrees either side of the colour point) while the '2' stretches the colour to 180 degrees (which is half the colour wheel. The '2' macros will hence result in more colours being replaced by the focus colour.

You can click one macro after another to try them out one after another, without Applying them. The macros create individual groups so can easily be removed with a selection click and hitting Delete.

In the controls given, 'Rotate' and 'Shift' adjust colour by using the Hue control within an HSL layer, before and after the Selective Colour layer. When you adjust Rotate in one direction, you can return to a more familiar (yet changed) colour set by adjusting the Shift in the opposite direction by the same amount.

The 'Strength' control adjusts Opacity of the overall group. After the macro has been selected, you can open the group and adjust these in the native adjustments there.

Macros can be stacked by running one after another. In this way you can create multiple colour, eg. complementary schemes such as Orange and Teal, or triadic schemes, such as Red-Green-Blue.
