Default any graphic gods out there?

My boss wants me to display status information as if one of three adjacents LEDs had been illuminated. ie each background colour of a status bar is there, just not bright.

I have come up with

unlit
red
yellow
green


But it seems to lack brilliance as if the led had been lit. Can anyone advise

Looks quiet good to me.

You could try selecting the unlit LED,s going into Levels and darkening them a bit so the lit one stands out more.

Then select the lit one an try the opposit or go to Hue/saturation menu and exagerate the selected colour a bit more.

Black background and LED them

Kind of like











I would also split them into their lit and unlit components and assemble them as needed.

Exactly what I did

Basically took a new canvas @ 60x20 (same size as Tim had them)

Put a circle of each colour in with anti-aliasing on.

Removed the white background - which left the ghost corona around each.

Added another later with a solid black fill as a background.

Created 3 layers @ 20x20 over each circle with a 50% black fill on them and switched them on or off as necessary.

Done

All using The GIMP on Linux so free

David

No problem - if you have any tweaks you would like done - ie, larger/smaller etc let me know - will only be a few mins to do
