Oh, I really don't know nothing about how and why color modes
prefer use HSV or HSL luma , I'm just a digital painter user. The
only feedback I can give are with pictures like the previous mail
:-)<br>
Btw, you are right , my use of 'superior' word needs to be explain
: the color mode in Photoshop ( I used it for years too) don't
work nicely with yellow/orange tones painting over gray. You
obtain only a muddy green/yellowish tones. That's why I called the
Gimp one 'superior' ; because if you use it as a painter to
recolor a part and like to use yellow or orange ; the Gimp one
will be more efficient for this case. That's why I always prefered
the way Gimp handle it than Photoshop.<br>
Just to defend that the two way are usefull :) and I agree and
like if you planed to support more then one color model. Good way
! and thanks for the link.<br>

Hmm... this muddy yellowish tone is actually dark yellow i would say
:D.<br>
I don't want to annoy you but i just did a little speedpainting
(just a hour or so, nothing fancy) in value (grayscale)<br>
and then colored it in yellow with HSL (left) and HSV (right).<br>
I think one can see that the left side preserves the lightness of
the image much better then the right side.<br>
This is the reason why the photoshop way is usually preferred.<br>
I know that many of the really great artists paint in value first
(to get the contrast between light and dark right at the start) and
then they add color. Since i used gimp for years this didn't really
work for me because the HSV coloring changes the lightness too
much...<br>
It's funny that you actually were annoyed by photoshop and went to
gimp.<br>
In contrary i was so annoyed after years of using gimp that i wanted
to switch to photoshop ^__^ but then i found krita :D<br>
