Part 2
Creating the Palette

Welcome back class, today we'll learn about how we can create ourselves a palette for color correction, if you don't know what color correction is, then please go back to part one and try to understand the basics of how everything interacts.

Now. Lets get started shall we?

To create a palette it is recommended to create it in a 3D modelling software, but since not everyone has the means to do so, I'll teach you how to create a palette with photographic editing software, like GIMP or Photoshop. I'll focus on GIMP, since it's FREE (get it here *). After that lets open it.


Starting a new project

1) Open GIMP, go to New Project, and make a 256x256 project. Link
2) Add an Alpha Channel to your 256x256 project. Link
3) Now go to your gradient tool, select Radial Mode ([u]set the colors on black and white before using it), use the gradient tool, and drag a diagonal line from the upper left border to the lower right border. Link
4) The result should be like this.

5) Save it as a .bmp (bitmap) image, coded at 24bit depth.

Done this, copy and past your file inside Freelancer/Exe, and now Color Correction will use the palette. Remember that some parameters will become inactive when the palette will be used.
