Color Map Your Own Pacman

This video was perfect timing. I recently went mono and was having problems with blending mode. Thank you for the simple and awesome video. Clear skies

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been using photoshop but just the basics. This channel deserves much more views. Top quality content!

Wow, I've been using Photoshop for 25 years and this taught me something new. Brilliant video!

Great video Craig. Thanks for sharing! If you don't mind my asking... Which scope/camera combination did you use to capture the sub exposures?

Thank you Craig for another good video. You mentioned in prior videos that this approach is used by NASA. Question- how you make letters displaying colors of the particular layers? You did not use letter adjustment layers like you did in prior videos. Possibly I missed it. Thank you.

In this example I had already added the text to each image so it simply takes on the color of the layer. You can also add a text layer witheach layer group and it will take on the color of the group.

I noticed that you color mapped using the hue and saturation on this particular image, but on other past videos, you would left click and select red green blue. What is the difference between the two and when would you apply one versus the other? Does it have anything to do with one image being RGB and another image being grayscale? And I have never understood how a grayscale image can be RGB. I don’t know if I’m making any sense. I have tried finding the answer to these few questions within your videos and I don’t think I have an answer to these questions

[@CraigStocksArts]

Both techniques work and can produce the same result. I’ve started demonstrating this approach as a universal technique that can be easier to understand.

A grayscale image can be seen as an RGB image with the same RGB values. For example 120,120,120 has equal rgb values but looks grayscale. So 0,0,0 is black and 255,255,255 is white. Everything in between is gray. In PS under Image-->Mode you can change a grayscale image into RGB. It will look the same but now you got 3 channels RGB with the same value.
