Highlighting/Shading Shadow Grey

It does work with Vista, as I have them both on my Desktop which is XP and my notebook which is Vista. I do recommend the VLC player as its a bit smoother playback than quicktime.

Hmm looking at a color wheel now ..how do you conclude to use red? Why not just add black?

as it\'s a blue you would normaly use orange.
due to the black already in it orange would go muddy so a darker orange (dark flesh etc) is it\'s opposite and therefore complimentory shade.

colour wheels are realy usefull

Heard lots of talk about colorwheels lately - do you know any good tutorials on how to use the them? Like the above etc.

I\'m using a interactive colour wheel with a triad ?!??........ There are 3 points to this.. one is at yellow...one is at blue and the other is at red... So how do you know what colours will shade & highlight others.

I know the darker ones shade & lighter ones highlight but on this shading blue with red.... so how do you shade red??? do you use blue??? ???

depending on the tone of the red you would use a blue or a green (i usualy use green and then add a bit of blue for the darkest shadows)

there are others who can explain it far better than me.
i\'m much better at teaching things in person (much more of a practical hands on person)
