KB EDITS: VIBRANCE TOOL

 

https://www.photo-mark.com/notes/analyzing-photoshop-vibrance-and-saturation/

“The saturation slider in the Hue/Saturation adjustment is a blunt, heavy handed tool, and although they share the same name, the saturation slider in the vibrance panel shows a certain amount of restraint. Also, it is very clear that the vibrance control behaves as you would expect. Even at 100%, it is only just begining to get out of hand. Punchy, sure, but not completely over the top and with very little clipping.”

“Vibrance: Adjusts the saturation so that clipping is minimized as colors approach full saturation. This setting changes the saturation of all lower-saturated colors with less effect on the higher-saturated colors. Vibrance also prevents skin tones from becoming oversaturated.”

Above are some of the main points I took from that article about the Vibrance tool in photoshop. It was much more informative than I thought it was going to be and they did a good example of explaining the difference between the saturation tool under the Saturation/Hue tool and Vibrance tool using imagery. I made my own example image using the same edits as I thought that quickly represented how the tool works best. The STA will take a washed-out image and make it more vibrant and saturated in a way that still looks natural for this training like shown in the last to photos at the bottom of the screen shot.

 

 

More Trapezites Updates!

I had a long meeting with Stacy to get some coding help. I was having an issue with building the logic for the dropdowns. They needed to be filtered every time another dropdown was selected, but each dropdown needed to remain clickable so the user could change their selection. Stacy looked through the code with me and ultimately decided that the whole things needed some refactoring.

 

We want to take a “object oriented” approach, which basically means that he wants to compartmentalize the various elements (currencies, regions, time periods, etc) into individual “objects.” Each of these objects then should contain functions to build their own dropdowns and filtering logic. Kind of confusing, but basically this change will require me to rewrite a lot of Rodrigo’s code. Luckily, I can still keep a lot of his logic. It’s just a matter of rewriting it to fit the new format.

 

So that’s essentially what I’ve been doing. This past week, I’ve been working specifically on bringing in the client’s currency data from the google spreadsheet and processing it to fit the logic in the code.

 

Other than that, I’ve helped make a few new STA sites in Cascade and write up short documentation for Vlabs.

KB CLIO Module Training Updates

I haven’t been updated my blog at all this week, but that’s because I got super excited and into this project of editing the instructions for CLIO modules. I’ve made a lot of progress throughout this week, and the two-part training is coming together. I’m very excited for the STAs to try out this training and give me some feedback for revision!

Please excuse the fact that the navbar banner is Liszt’s Consolation No. 4 despite me rambling about Rachmaninoff T.T, anyways you can listen to the piece here ;).

Here are some screenshots of my CLIO site.
