Today's discussion is a good one. Let's start with an example. In this example, the overlay is a black with h,s,v of 40,40,40 and is 50% transparent.
Now, imagine you're playing a game. And you go into a dark-ish cavern. The whole screen gets a overlay of this colour. Now suppose you walk near to a light. The area around this light would need to have the overlay Cancelled Out.
My discussion is this. What would you think is the best idea for this? I thought about applying on the areas affected to be cancelled the colour that is opposite of the current overlay. In this scenario, a colour white with a h,s,v of 215,215,215 and is 50% transparent.
I'd like a good discussion please. I'm curious how you graphic artists would go about this.
