Sheet Effects - RGB Matrix Process

FarsightX3

I have successfully used this to change the sea to the color from the tutorial from my last forum to that blue. How do I change the land? I'd like the land a little more greener. There are 3 different RGB things. How could I manipulate that to do that? Any insight on how that mechanic works would be appreciative. I am using Herwin's annual by the way. Thanks!

The RGB matrix effect is detailed further in the tome, but the basics of it is that it allows you to change the values of the color components (Red, Green and Blue) based on the values of the other components.
For example, the first line calculates the RED component of each pixel by multiplying the original red value with the number in the first box, adding it to the original green value multiplied by the value in the second box, then adding it to the original blue value multiplied by the value in the third box, and finally adding the value in the fourth box. This becomes the new red value of the pixel. Each pixel is then processed the same way.

To make the land a little greener, try something like this:

1	0	0	0
0	1.3	0	0
0	0	1	0

Apply the effect to the LAND sheet.

Monsen that is brilliant! Thank you. Still a little confused on how the mechanic of this works but that green can work. So all the numbers in the row has to be the sum of 1 correct? How can I manipulate your example to have different shades of green?

Monsen

No, they don't need to sum up to one. To try other shades of green, try modifying the 1.3 value in my example. What my example does is multiplying the current green value by 1.3 to generate the new green value, thereby strengthening it (more green). Try playing around with it. You can also reduce the red value a bit by lowering the value of 1 in the first row (to 0.9 for example). The same can be done for the blue component by changing the 1 in the bottom row.
