Adjusting the brightness of a palette or image

---

There are several ways you can brighten a palette or image:

• You can use Advanced mode to correct the Saturation and/or the Brightness.

• You can use RGB mode, correcting some or even all the components.

• You can use HSV mode to correct the Saturation and/or Value parameters.

You're more likely to get better results using Advanced or RGB mode. Here's what you do:

1. Load the palette or image you're correcting; see Loading a palette for color correction, or Loading an image for color correction.

2. For a palette, you may like to view the background as a reference:

1. Choose Image > Add Background on InkPaint's menu.

2. Select the background in the dialog box that appears; see Locating a file.

The background appears behind the character.

3. Select the Advanced or HSV color correction mode; see Setting the color correction mode.

4. Adjust the palette's brightness:

• If you're using Advanced mode, use the Saturation slider and/or the Brightness graph; see Using Advanced mode.

• If you're using HSV mode, adjust the Saturation and/or Value; see Using HSV mode. If you change between these, don't forget to lock; see Clearing and locking corrections.

5. Save the corrected palette or image; see Applying a correction to disk.
