@applejack that 50% one is better than the windows one hands down! gradients in the red way more visible but not too deep, the linework isn't affected as much if at all, and the skin tone appears to be more natural.
only complaint is that the green is a little too bright in comparison, but i don't think it's a huge deal, it's REALLY close.

@applejack oh yeah haha. this is what happens when someone whose brain is wired to not relate anything to color tries to relate things to color xD

@matrix i'm gonna' pretend like i understand what that means

@applejack i just noticed the blush too, i can't really see it at all in the windows filter and it is definitely more visible than the original. some of the shadows get lost on windows too.

@applejack that's definitely getting better, with the eyes especially. the red in there is not as blown out as the windows filter makes them, they look really nice.

the hair is supposed to be purple right? because it's leaning back into green again for me. the green part of the hair is still way too bright too.

then there's the skin, which still is lookin more pink than tan. it's a step in the right direction, i think, but needs some more tuning.

compare this filter with the original put through the windows filter so you can see what i mean about the hair/skin:

@matrix considering actual child rapists love to lie and point the finger at other people to cover up for their crimes i would not be surprised

here's another good one

@matrix who

@matrix idk squishy?

@Qincel the places that are like that now are like, the dessert shops. soda/ice cream/smoothies/snow cones. other sweet shops. that's probably as chill as it gets, other than like a small gaming or record store.

@applejack i think the goal might be to help colorblind people see differences in color, because it can be hard for them to see the difference between red and green at certain hues or whatever. it seems like that would worsen the effect though...

the problem is that it doesn't display the color that a colorblind person would see if they were not colorblind. you say her eyes are supposed to be red, but in the "color corrected" image they look kind of like a pale green with a little bit of pink in them. the skin looks worse, it goes from a light tan color to practically pale white. that second image is a pretty accurate example of how i see things normally.

it's the exact problem i was bringing up, how most colorblind filters are actually simulations. the only game i know for sure applies a correct colorblind mode is destiny 2 (1:04): https://youtu.be/sGUg1vofItI?t=64

i have no idea how this happened to be honest, why people agreed that it was a better idea to show colorblind people the colors they see better and just forget about the ones they see worse. i found out about this whole debacle when i played modern warfare remastered because the flames were pink and the night vision was so green i couldn't see anything... it was unplayable. then when my friend and i were playing hat in time he kept saying that all the red stuff looked brown. meanwhile, i had been using these filters my entire life and just thinking that's actually how the world looked.

imagine a game with red and green team colors, and then the colorblind mode makes the green brighter and the red duller. for someone who normally sees like that, the colors become practically indistinguishable from each other.

@applejack it's funny that you bring up daltonize because it actually simulates colorblindness too lol. using the extension makes pink practically look green to me and orange/red become pretty indiscernible, with blue and purple getting closer too.

i'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that it's as easy as just inversing whatever they've done to simulate it though. maybe not as trivial as that but the same idea. there was a game in the past (though i can't remember what game for the life of me and can't find it) that actually did that with its colorblind mode with an update at some point and fixed it.

@applejack here are some comparisons. one thing i don't like about windows' filter is that it blows out reds to the point where you lose gradients, but it's better than not having the filter at all. i wish i could change the strength of it.

it's worth noting that i have no idea if the protan/tritan settings are accurate, since i don't have those types of colorblindness. i'm assuming they are though, considering the deutan one is.

in order: normal, deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia.

@applejack i can definitely tell the red eyes are brightened up a bit, for me it goes from "probably green" to "probably red."

green in the hair is at a pretty good level.

the skin gets pretty pink though, don't know how to explain it exactly but the windows filter kind of brightens the skin while turning it to a redder hue while yours darkens it with a redder hue, if that makes any sense.

then there is the problem of the background being blue instead of white lol. you're headed in the right direction though.

i'm working on getting an example video or something here.

@applejack i think the best way for me to capture it would be with a capture card so i could just get the hdmi signal but my capture card no longer works lol. maybe OBS will work with a desktop capture, i'll try it out.

@applejack lol ain't that the problem xD

most colorblind filters simulate it even if they're saying they help it. for instance, the majority of video games.

someone took screenshots of path of exile with all the colorblind filters for windows 10, but it doesn't exactly have the greatest array of colors to show off. i'd try and take some myself but i honestly don't know how this person got these screenshots; taking them in windows gets rid of the filter for me.

in order: normal, deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia.

@applejack @Awoo interesting, that seems like a pretty good bet.

tbh i have no clue what tritanopia and protanopia are like. i have deuteranopia so that is unfortunately the only frame of reference i have. i could try asking around though and try fiddling around with the other settings in windows to see if i can notice what colors they're changing. i know protanopia is similar to deuteranopia but i'm not entirely sure in which ways.

at least with deuteranopia, the way to fix it is to make greens less vibrant and make reds more vibrant. i had no idea twitch was purple until i started using the windows colorblind feature... i thought it was blue forever lol.

the way colorblind glasses from enchroma work is by filtering out green light. not completely, obviously, but it is way more toned down so it helps you see other colors without the green influence. with deuteranopia, your green cone is damaged in some way, so your red cone takes on the green cone's job and you end up seeing more green and less red due to that.

i found this randomly too lurking in a windows reddit post lol, but it seems to be pretty much the exact same idea as picom by using ogl shaders: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Colorfilter

@Awoo @applejack literally the only thing keeping me from using linux wholesale at this point is that there is absolutely horrible colorblind support.

the programs that do provide filters are either laggy as hell, super unwieldy to use (like needing to have a second monitor just to see what the first one looks like with the filter), or actually simulate colorblindness.

i don't necessarily have the money to commission a whole ass program that would drop a filter over your screen right now but it is something i'd eventually like to see happen.

the only package it seems was relatively good for colorblindness is gnome-mag but it's loooong been abandoned and doesn't work anymore, plus i have no idea if it technically actually worked or not.

just using monitor or GPU color correct isn't a very elegant solution either, because doing that shifts colors in total rather than just taking specific color ranges and either amplifying or desaturating them. if i try and boost reds, for instance, i end up with grays becoming slightly red too which windows' filter doesn't do. if it does it is way too minor of a difference to notice. maybe they're doing some black magic or something but Android and iOS colorblind settings do the same thing too, just in reverse (they simulate it instead).
