{Brightest} - determines the color match used. This is helpful when working with fixtures
that have more than three color components, such as RGBA, RGBWm or ETC's fixtures.
Pressing {Brightest} or {Shift} +a gel from the picker will cycle through the three modes.
{Brightest} - matches to the brightest match of that chromaticity.
{Spectral} -matches to the best spectral match chromaticity. However, this mode can
remove a lot of the intensity. This is based off of a 575w long life Source Four
®
.
{Hybrid} - halfway between the brightest and the best spectral match. In the channel
display, a single dot shows best spectral match, 2 dots indicates hybrid, and no dot
shows brightest.
{Sort Hue} - takes the selected gel library and sorts it by hue instead of by gel number.
{Similar} - will show gels that are in the same selected area of the color picker. Only gels
in the same selected gel book will display. You can switch to another gel book though to
discover gels in that area.
{Show Gels as Gel Against White Background} displays the raw gel color as it would
look against a white background. This option toggles with {Show Gels as Gel + Lamp
Output}.
{Show Gels as Gel + Lamp Output} displays the gel swatch color as if it was being used
with a tungsten lamp.
{Show} - displays all of the static gels in the show file. This populates from Patch.
{Standard Colors} - shows a range of White Point from 2700K to 6500K. Also shown are
colors located around the triangle and variations of those colors at 25% increments.
How the Gel Picker Affects Scroller and Color Wheel
When possible the Gel Picker will select the closest gel as defined in a scroller or color wheel.
Note:
Some devices contain manufacturer specified gel mixes, and will only allow
selection from the Gel Picker of the exact gels in their list.
The channel display will show the frame number and the corresponding label that is defined
for that frame.

cooler, and you can add or remove colors.
