Create Custom Memory Colors

A very powerful feature of iCorrect Portrait is its ability to create custom memory color definitions.  Some good examples might be the creation of memory color definitions for your backdrops, a team uniform color, or for sky or foliage.  To create a new custom memory color, the easiest way is open a reference image from which you want to select the color. In this example, we'll create a new custom memory color for sky from a reference image that depicts a favorite blue sky. Begin by opening the image that you like the best, select the iCorrect Portrait plug-in, and click the Modify/Add Colors... button. Select the memory color from the pop-up that you want to define as the background color. Then just click on a sample of the sky in the preview image.  A new memory color will be created and this can then be used to correct the sky in other images. Creating New Memory Color Definitions

The custom memory color pop-up menu can contain up to eight color definitions, allowing you to create definitions that are important to you in general, or even for a particular project. Begin by selecting the Custom memory color button. Then select an empty location from the Memory Colors pop-up menu. (If you haven't defined any custom colors yet, this will be done for you.) A new color will be created, with a default name and definition.   After you've named the custom memory color, simply click on a sample in the image preview to create a new definition. At this point, you can also modify the definition if you wish Modification You can use the three interactive "handles" to modify the default color definition to come up with the desired color.

Saving and Loading Memory Color Definitions You can save any memory color definition to a file by clicking the Save… button:

Once you have your new memory color defined, open an image you want to correct and use the new memory color in the same way you would the Neutrals or Skin Tones by clicking the Custom Memory Color button and selecting the new memory color for sky and clicking on the sky in the image. Voila! The sky is automatically corrected. T
