Feature Request: Mixbox True Pigment Mixing

[Khairul Hamdan]

Currently the colour mixing in Adobe Photoshop is not true to real life (e.g. blue plus yellow makes a cream colour instead of green). I would love to see Adobe impliment a system like the one found here:[link removed as per forum guidelines]

It would improve the product greatly and keep Photoshop above the competition for digital artist.

I'cve noticed the colors in Rebelle, with or without pigment mixing enabled, seem brighter than other apps, especially Photoshop. And, I'm pretty sure I'm iusing the same color space and profile.

Is this about pigment mixing representation, or overall color reproduction?

If the latter, I suspect "Rebelle", whatever that is, doesn't fully support color management. Or you have a defective monitor profile. Either way, you should start a new thread.

If this is about how to represent mixing pigments, my point above was that there is no absolute reference to this. Different pigments of the same hue behave differently. One blue pigment does not mix the same way as another blue pigment. If you want to attract new customers you can obviously present a very vivid representation, but that doesn't mean it's realistic.

I was replying to someone about mixing acrylic paint. I didn't reply to them directly.

Rebelle is a painting program. Pretty close to trqditional painting even when not using "real pigment mixing."

Since you've never heard of it, I imagine you don;t do a lot of digital painting.

Maybe not, but I've done a whole lot of real painting 😉

I've done quite a bit years ago. Oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, tried everything. I like the feel of oils best, but the drying time is excruciating and I didnlt want to deal with the toxicity. Acrylics dried TOO fast. (I know. We're getting into Goldilocks territory!) I finally settled on pastels and pastel pencils. But, they're a bit messy and I don't have the room.

Enter digital paiintng. It took a little while to get used to it, but I enjoy it. And, the closer I can get to traditional without the mess is good!
