Description Rinus Bakker 2011-09-21 09:19:53 UTC
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

If someone likes to do it, it would be great to have to a central (current) image with around it +x magenta +x cyan +x yellow etc. It is very analogue way of handling as in the old days you had to look trough colored glasses to see what you had to adjust. You probably all know that the company with the ¨Ä¨word handles it this way. And yes, I admit that is quicker and more convenient then moving sliders up and down.

It is enough, it is nice, we can not without, it could even not be 
improved. What I talk about is an extra functionallity, where you see in 
a circle different color additions, it makes it easyer to see what is 
wrong, which direction to choose and to go in few clicks to neutral color.

I have only elements on my computer, this is a photshop function. Failed to find image on the web. 
Maybe someone else?
If someone want to work on it I can make an impression how it could look.

We do not have to look so far. Gimp has it, but unfortunately implemented in a useless way, far to small images.

It looks like part of my text disappeared:

it was Filters->FilterCollection (free translation from Dutch)

In GIMP this menu is non-obvious. In English you go to the 'Colours' or 'Colors' menu and choose 'Filter Pack...'. Under the 'Windows' section tick the 'Hue' box. The relevant window opens showing a shift of hue in various color directions.

In Photoshop the choice is under 'Image' menu, 'Adjustments' and then 'Variations...'. Here is what it looks like in Photoshop:

Thanks for showing, they did it the right way.

The GmicQt Colors/Tone Presets filter is more and less what's you want.

See the online documentation for details:
