CC Toner+ for After Effects

CC Toner+ is an enhanced CC Toner preset that automatically interpolates colors between the Highlights and Shadows. The numerous color interpolation modes give you greater control, and enable you to easily create stunning gradations in color.

Interpolation Modes:

• RGB: Same as Tint
• Linear RGB: RGB with 1.0 Gamma
• Lab: AKA CIELAB
• HSL: Hue, Saturation, Lightness
• HSV: Hue, Saturation, Value
• HCL: Hue, Chroma, Luminance
• Oklab: Perceptually Smooth Lab
• Okhsl: Perceptually Smooth HSL
• Okhsv: Perceptually Smooth HSV

Also featured is Hue Distance selection. This gives you options to change the direction of the hue interpolation. I find Shortest to generally give the most pleasing results.

• Shortest: Shortest Path to End
• Longest: Longest Path to End
• Ascending: Move Up through Hue
• Descending: Move Down through Hue
• Spectrum: Hue 0 to 360

There are also simple controls to fine-tune the colours by shifting them towards their neighboring colours.

I'd love to see what you create using this tool! I'm on Twitter @AECartographer, and am around on the /r/AfterEffects Discord. If you have any feedback, shoot me a message on Twitter! Thanks to everyone who created the code that made this tool possible!

Note: This is not an Effect plugin, this is a Pseudo Effect & CC Toner effect linked via expressions.

This product is free, but should not be redistributed/sold/rebranded as a new product. If you include it as part of a template, please credit AECartographer and provide links to this page.
