I need a pink lightsaber

I'm using AE 6.5 and i've played with the color balance settings and i just can't get the right pink.
Can any one give tell me how I can get a pink saber?

 

Well, let's see.. Pink is a mixture of red and white. And since there is a "red" slider in Color Balance, and the blade starts off white... well, nudging that "Red" slider a hair to the right will do the trick.

 

Can any one give tell me how I can get a pink saber?

Go to the right bars and smile a lot.

 

Leave it to Funk-E....to turn this into the Man show

 

I win!

 

If you can't find the colour you want with the Color Balance filter, toss on a Hue/Saturation/Lightness filter, and adjust the Hue until you get what you want. For colours other than the primaries, I find this takes a lot less effort.

What's next? Fem Troopers jumping on trampolines!?

 

God willing.

 

That wouldn't be that interesting, though. Given the hard plastic armor. Probably chafe pretty badly, too.

 

Eh, the armor can't be that sturdy. I'd give it a few good bounces before it comes off.

 

Yeah, we have far too many girls around here that we need to put them off with a discussion like this one.

Although, i'm firmly in the "they would come off" camp on this one. It's all about g-forces. Somebody at NASA could probably work out just how many bounces etc.

 

lol.

On a side note, I work the front desk at a hotel and I am at work now. I just checked in a highschool's girl's basketball team. Bad thoughts out good thoughts in, bad thoughts out good thoughts in.

 

Naturally your first reaction was to post about it on a Star Wars forum. I'd say you don't have anything to worry about.

 

lol, true.

 

Take lots of pictures

 

Ok, I was just trying to be funny with the bad thoughts, good thoughts comment. Let's try to keep me out of jail umkay? Let's get back on topic before I get into too much trouble.

I would think that a pink lightsaber would not be difficult at all using the Color Balance option in Adobe Photoshop but you may want 5 to 6 layers of lightsaber blades (all but one layer gaussian blurred) to get good color saturation. I find having only 4 layers as in Ryan's tutorial to be not enough for my personal preference. I hope that helps.

 

Well I kind of fell behind on the comments so let me catch my self up.

Funk-E: hahaha that was funny.

Jedi2016: I'll try it.

Jedi_Spiff: I'll try that too and then compare it to Jedi2016's method.

Evil-Henchman: I don't think I want to take the time to work with Photoshop when I have AE.

And just if you guys were wondering why I need a pink lightsaber I?ll tell ya.

I'm making a movie called gamers and the main character has a Jedi outcast dream. And when he turns on his lightsaber it turns out to be pink, and because its a dream he doesn't have control over what happens in it?. Then he ends up fighting some guy and loses.

Yeah its hard to explain but I could just say, I was curious.

 

I wouldn't call it that if I were you. You ever seen 'The Gamers'?
Great film...

 

this is one crazy toppic. You guys are poasting some of the.........well you get the idea.

 

Well tha'ts the working title at the moment we're still working on the real one.

 

I'm surprised noone has posted a pic of a pink saber yet.

Dangit.. I was about to make one too, but then realized I'm at home and there's no photoshop on this computer.

If no one has done it by the time I get back to school, I'll make one.

=P
