Puzzle #4 - Color Code

Throwing ideas out:

shift the colors to the right (or left) by 16 where the end will be in the front.

Do for just the middle horizontal line or shift each horizontal line to build glyphs?

Maybe superimpose each "word" where bright pink matches?

YES!! I THINK I GOT IT! I HOPE SO!!

Put each section in different layers then do subtraction on them.

Remember that the top and bottom horizontal lines have dots in them?

This is not a promise Gimp is giving me an headache. It refuses to let me do layers.

I realize this is long shot but hey why not.

reply to post by Deaf Alien


like this?

reply to post by Varrin7


yes something like that but put them together and see what happens. Glyphs can appear

Maybe I'm just tired lol. Gimp is giving me a hard time.

reply to post by Deaf Alien


by put together, do you mean "pile" on top of each other?

reply to post by Varrin7


Yes that's what I mean. Maybe do a subtraction on them. I just realized that this may be a crazy idea since I'm tired lol. If it is, I apologize for making you all excited.

okay, i am sorta comfy with editing software, but not completely. what i mean is, your gonna have to explain what you mean by "subtraction".

sorry 'bout all the questions mate.

Lol okay there's operations you can do on layers like multiply, addition, subtraction, etc. With subtraction, you just subtract color values of the first layer from the second layer.

Hmm, I think this might not work or maybe it will? Im stressed out and tired.

Probably a stupid idea to start with.

ok can someone do the number magic on this for me





I spliced the middle purple lines, the dark ones, because in reason the clue that ATS gave us was written in this color, just for thoughts I hope that that maybe they wrote in that color for an exact reason.

there is a color change across the picture I do not know much else

yyyyeeeaaahhhhh.......i don't think we're using same program.i'm using photoshop as well as after effects. i don't even know if these programs have a "subtraction" function, or if it's under the same name.

reply to post by Varrin7


All decent paint programs have those operations. Take a peek in the layers window and you will see those.

Nooo, don't peter out on us now! You saying that you think you've figured it out is the most exciting news I've heard all weekend. This puzzle has been causing me to lose sleep. Don't give up on us, little trooper.

Thanks

The varying values in those horizontal lines are there for a reason. The hint said that the colors are important. Maybe we all have been working on the wrong thing.

hope i did the subtraction thing right. here's what i got:
