Steven Universe Color Correction!
I was doing some screenshot edits when I had a brainfart and decided to find out the colors of the zircons and the wormy boi.
Basic Tutorial
There are a number of different types of blending modes for layers, as many of you undoubtedly know. Most screenshots from SU that are worth editing seem to have a darker shade, similar to a multiply layer.
Anyone who passed 5th grade math knows that the opposite of multiply is divide, which also happens to be a blending mode.
So, the method I used to correct my colors goes as follows:
Load your screenshot into your art program
Add a new layer and set the blending mode to divide. Hide this layer for now.
Find something on the screenshot that would be white under normal lighting. Eyes, teeth and the like.
Use the eydropper tool to copy the color on one of these areas.
Make the divide layer visible, and use the bucket/fill tool to fill the layer with the color you copied.
Tada! You should now have an edited screenshot with accurate colors.
Actual Theories
Remember when the biggest controversy in the fandom was if the prosecuting Zircon was yellow or green? Simpler times. Anywho: I used the same method, and...
Why yellow there.
I cross checked this with other people's edits, and it seemed pretty consistent. She yello!
I decided to do the defending Zircon just for fun:
So, next bit: Wormy Boi.
@novantinuum made an interesting post about the similarities in scenery and lighting between the Wormy Boi's title sequence appearance and a number of scenes in the most recent trailer. I sampled the color from the trailer, put it on the title sequence, and well... the results speak for themselves.
This is how a trailer scene looked before it was fixed:

And the Worm?
Yup.
Please tell me if there is any way to improve my method!
Also, I’m working on the high school AU thing.
