MmmMaarten Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Everyone, In the need to understand the sometimes complex subject of Color Models, Color Spaces and Color Profiles better, I found it hard to find a nice to read and complete source on the matter. So after I did a deep dive into the subject I decided to share what I've learned about it by writing a tutorial blog about it with illustrations and interactives. Yesterday I published part one about Color Models and color basics, to pave the way to Color Spaces for the next and last part of the article. Although not directly Affinity related, I figured this could benefit other Affinity users too in understanding Color Spaces better and when to choose which in Designer and Photo. And making Color Spaces a little less confusing to understand. Of coarse all graphics-work for illustrations and interactives in the tutorial are made in Affinity Designer. The blog is available in both Dutch (https://www.wigglepixel.nl/blog/wat-zijn-color-models/) and translated in English (https://www.wigglepixel.nl/en/blog/what-are-color-models/). Hope you like it and if this makes others understand the subject better and as enthousiastic as I am now about it after this, I reached my goal!

Nice to hear that stuff! On the moment I'm working very hard on the second part. That will probably go live by the end of next week. Be prepared, 'cause that will be a little bit more advanced technical stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em coming Last weeks I was pretty busy with developing and creating and I'm also working top level on the next part of the blog, which is a little bit more technical, and very important stuff that deserves to be explained well to get everything across well. So I figured publishing this week was a little too optimistic. I'd rather provide you with some quality read that is worth reading and makes readers understand the matter, instead of just throwing it out there to match my deadline, so I will postbone it a little bit while working hard on it to make it a nice read! Keep you informed! Roger C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eab Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Excellent tutorial. Extremely slick animated graphics. Looking forward in learning more in the next part.

TestTools Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Part Two wins you the Internet yet again!@!@ I am so thrilled with these that I have incorporated them into some training sites that I run. Do you use Affinity Designer for the drawings and then hit them with some magic HTML5 stick to get them to work? They are fabulous.

MmmMaarten Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Next blog will be about the History of Interactive Computer Graphics (and animations!). I decided to add at least one interactive per part... and also created more than 110 illustrations to 'illustrate' the events in the story. There will be (at least) six parts in this series.... way too much to tell about the pretty interesting history of math, animations, electronics, logic, the first computers, the first games... and those coming together to develop to where we are now! It will surprise you how things went! The (responsive) interactive for the first part is just finished and will explain a little bit about how the Casteljau Algorithm works... later known as Bézier Curves! My job... is.. just... way... too... much... fun! Maarten bezierCurves-1920x1080.mp4 charactersword 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
