Physically accurate ?

Anastasius

MixColors emulates physical paint behavior from classical "physical" painting. It's based upon subtractive color mixing but in reality realistic paint mixing is much more advanced. MixColors emulates paint pigments behavior on paper and gives you the same result you would get when mixing oils or watercolors - but faster!

You can adjust amount of color you're adding to the mix. Also for example MixColors factors in "dirt" or change of saturation/brightness of the colors when mixing.

Really cool! Never tried this one but MagicPicker always worked pretty good for me. Looks like a good companion to it.

Anastasiy Do you provide any discounts for your veteran users?

What's Astro Turfing?

@pmiller001 from Google:
Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by grassroots participants.

Anastasius, Barbanegra, and cryogen74 share the same IP address.

Barbanegra and cryogen74 reply positively in Anastasius topics, promoting their products.

Now, they could be unaffiliated users who just happen to work in separate companies within the same office building, and their connections all go through the same router.

I'll let you decide. But it does certainly look fishy to me.

One question about the physical accurate part.
You are talking about color mixing in reallife, but this is somehow ...wrong?

Maybe I am dumb, but please take a look.
You show us on your site this examples for phyiscal accurate mixing:



My problem with this is, that this is additive color mixing and not what oil paintings or water color uses.
So how is this physical accurate? - or is just this image wrong?
