• Build 06 - Effect System Overhaul - 21 March 2022

  The effect system for reference images has been completely revamped. Every effect can now be applied multiple times, has a opacity slider and the order of effects can be changed. Also all effects can be applied after remapping if so desired. This is a huge change in the internals of ColorTool and paves the way for a major feature in the next release and other additions over time. New Effect: Rotate Hue Allows you to adjust the hue of an image, and by adding an hue-multiplier to make an image overall more colorful, bringing out the hue-shifts more. This is intended to prepare otherwise rather monotone images to be remapped to more colorful palettes. New Effect: Replace Color There is two variants of this effect, the first replaces a single color in the picture with another. This is very useful to change the color of lights or shadows in an image. The second replaces a band of colors with…

• ColorTool Build 05 - 25 September 2020

  Welcome to build 05. This version brings a slew of minor improvements that together, should turn ColorTool in a much more robust software. Performance Improvments The automatic palette sorting as well as the image analysis have been ported to C++. They should be up to 100 times as fast as before and delays within processing should be far less noticible. Copy & Paste Copy and Paste functionality has arrived in ColorTool. You can copy nodes and colors from one document to the other. Whenever you copy colors from a palette it will also create, allowing you to very quickly import colors from ColorTool into your drawing application, just through copy & paste. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+V will put whatever image you have in your clipboard and imports it as reference image. You can also export a reference image directly to the clipboard rather than to disk. Copy Settings Two small icons have been add…

• ColorTool Build 04 - 21 December 2019

  Welcome to Build 04. This build overhauls the way ColorTool handles and generates palettes, laying the groundwork for future releases. Curve-Settings Overhaul The curve settings were overhauled and are now much more powerful. Plain palette loading and editing You can now load plain palettes such as .gpl or .aco files. This will give you a rudimentary way of editing these files, as well as using them for remapping images. Automatic Color Sorting Before, the colors would be added to the palette in the same order they were created. Build 04 instead introduces a smart sorting algorithm that makes sure that similar colors are placed closely in the resulting palette. Palette-Arrangements You now have full control over where each ramp in the palette will end up in. You can also give each color and each ramp a name. These will be used when exporting to a palette file Misc - Fixed: "Grabbers" fo…
