Silhouette (Issabella's tutorial) Script

trandoductin · **Posted:** Sat May 31, 2014 4:43 pm **(#1)**

Following Issabella's Silhouette tutorial

This script will run the Silhouette effect on your created (black) art/text/shapes (if it's text make sure you DISCARD text information to make it just a normal layer of black art).

This script will allow you to change color fill of your art.
You can choose to apply curves call or not.
If Apply curves is checked/selected, the colorize call will be made using Hue,Saturation,Lightness settings.
And you can change the offsets of drop-shadow call.
The settings looks like below

The call to apply curves makes it a rainbow color,
Then the call to colorize uses Hue/Saturation/Lightness to set the color.

The color on top only applies if you uncheck the Apply Curves but you do get a different look because curves and colorize won't be called.

...but using the suggested method you don't know in advance what will happen!
I guess it's better to have the user colour choice always active somehow (imho)

It would be nice if you can just select color and colorize will do it for you.
Maybe there's already function that does that. I'll look into it.

Try this version

it doesn't require hue/sat/lightness but it uses a layer using COLOR-MODE (so if you pick light red or dark red for example the outcome is just red neither dark or light)
