TVpaint Tutorials

Here’s how to recreate photoshops photo filter with TVPaint efx.

First create a copy of a layer, doesn’t matter which one and set that to blend mode grain extract.

Now you have a 50% gray layer which is overlay neutral, meaning it will be transparent in overlay mode.

Copy to clipboard and paste a new layer from clipboard.

Put this new gray layer into overlay blend mode.

Go to efx and select the color sliders plugin and voila, non-destrutive photo filter. You can easily add any tint to your underlying layers by experimenting with the color sliders in TVPaint.

The next update of TVPaint will probably have a new script command to set the blending mode of layers so then it will be a snap to wrap this all up in a script.
