How to get white using RGB colors in Adjustable Preview

[Capt'n Jack]

When I have RGB floods all on for white, I get purple. Is there a way to get white instead of purple in Adjustable Preview?

[Capt'n Jack]

Hmmm, must've asked the wrong question.

If I understand your question, you are drawing the channels for Red, Green and Blue on top of each other in the preview. I do this myself - and you are right they show up as a light purple color - but when you run the preview itself - don't they show up as the correct color (white)? Could be wrong but I think I have the same thing when setting up my floods/strips.

No, they show up purple. The first time I did a test sequence for RGB floods it worked, but something happened and has shown up purple ever since.

I think I remember that there was an updated adjustable preview that someone made that made the RGB "better" maybe you've reverted to the preview that came with vixen?

The Vixen 2.x Adjustable Preview does not display true RGB colors when there are R, G, and B channels on top of each other. It does some additional arithmetic to try to blend the colors with the background. If you want to see more accurate RGB colors, you would need to modify the plug-in or use an alternate plug-in. The Grid Editor plug-in is a superset of the Adjustable Preview, and does show more accurate RGB colors. For example:
