O.P. Color mixing
i need some advice on color mixing. In the attachement you see how 3 colors (blue, red, green) are made by mixing 2 colors by 50%. I need a tool to reach that manually. I got photoshop but i don't know how to do that. I need help SOON :)

RE: Color mixing
in photoshop colors are made by using rgb coding (red, green, blue.) You can mix those by giving them a value between 0 and 255
So if you want red you do (255,0,0) if you want purple you can do (255,255,0) etc.
But in your case all colors mixed are black... where as (255,255,255) is white...
Hope that helps...

But that is my opinion!

RE: Color mixing
ok you can make a magenta circel rgb-code(255,0,255)...
then make a new circle with the color red (255,0,0) and overlap this circel with the first one..
then select the second layer (red circle) and choose the option difference instead off normal...
that would give the effect you want...
