I am currently working on a new RGB version that allows for replaceable Smart Objects and reconfigurable UI via Layer Comps.

I am currently working on a LAB version.

In 2009, I decided to create a version that used Sibling Smart Objects for its bitmap comparison imagery. Alter a single Smart Object interior, and all the images across the file update.

Similar to the 2002 Micro version, I created a cropped, leaner file, that only contains a full size Input/Output curve.

This Input/Output graph charts the distortion falloff of the Spherize filter. Alter the Smart Filter value to see the rounding that it applies.

This is a simple Input/Output version that allows conversion back and forth between RGB and CMYK. The RGB version is inverted to black, which corrects the hues of the individual channel lines.

This is a cropped, more simplified version, that I used when creating RGB to CMYK targeted correction layers. Some of those layer are still left behind in the file for users to use as samples.

Due to changes made to Photoshop CS, I needed to rewrite the actions droplets.

I went on to create a simplified Layer Group Set that contained a functional Input/Output Curve Analyzer. This Layer Group Set could be dragged to any file, allowing users to incorporate UI into layouts. Corrections could be placed into the Group to view instant results.

I then created an encrypted version of this file. It runs a little slower than its predecessors, but makes for an interesting case study for those that are interested.

All the layers in the file look like noise when viewed individually. When all of them are turned on and the file is viewed at 100% size, the UI renders properly and is usable.

A full set of instructions are included around the border of file.

I created this file to protect the layer technology within, back when I was considering marketing it as a product. It’s guaranteed to give anyone trying to dissect the file a headache.

GMA_Conversion_Separation_Analyzer_v050120.psb.zip
Jan 20, 2005

In 2005, I experimented with an input/output graph that displayed color separations when converting to CMYK. This allowed users to see exactly how Color Tables and ICC profiles were distributing the information. Simply change your color settings and convert the template to CMYK to display the separation curves.

As I did with the RGB version, I then created a droplet version for CMYK.

Mid 2003, I finished the CMYK version. It contains the same features that the previous RGB version has, but also includes many useful CMYK specific functions:

- Additional before/after CMY only ramp
- X/Y ramp fading from CMYK to CMY
- Additional CMY view for bitmap image
- Additional K channel breakdown
- Additional K channel mixture gauge
- Bitmap image view of Undercolor
- Bitmap image view of Overcolor
- Bitmap image view of Summation
- Heat map illustrating Dmax values
- Patch comparison of SWOP Dmax mixtures

I then created a droplet version. The droplet would create a fully functional Analyzer that would integrate images dropped onto it into the UI, instead of the warped rooftop sample image of the artist Marie Saquing.

In early 2003, I made some changes to the frames, naming, and layer organization. It went from being called The Tool to Adjustment Layer Analyzer. The GMA prefix is a reference to my name, Greg M. Apodaca.

Nov 21, 2002

In late 2002, I developed the layout that is still used to this day. It contains UI that shows various image dynamics:

- Input Output Curve
- Before/After ramp and patches
- Bit map sample image
- RGB channel breakdown
- Channel mixture gauges
- Before/After Hue strips
- RGB channel breakdown of Hue strips
- Saturation guide when fading to white
- Saturation guide when fading to gray
- Saturation guide when fading to black
- Modal breakdown panes
- Modal ramp on pattern for visualization

I also created a smaller version that I could have up in the background during lectures.

I went on to create a CMYK version of the file.

I then found it useful to create views that showed individual channels without needing to toggle on/off eyeballs in the channels panel.

Input_Output_Curves_RGB_Original_v020322.psd.zip

The original version only consisted of an input/output layer, a before/after grayscale ramp, and an Adobe supplied sample image of a Zebra.
