Script Palette Maker

[Marie-Claire]

Carole, I have the script PaletteMaker. But I wonder why the color depth of the photo is reduced in the first place. The colors in the palette are no longer as bright.

In order to identify specific colors to make a palette, it is the simplest way to select a finite number of colors. If all the gradients and shades of colors were still part of the image, it would be impossible for the script to know how to pick 8 colors that are not 8 shades of the same color.

 

This script was a tweak on a script that came with PSP, where it would create a color palette to be used in the swatches.

Ok, thank you for the explanation  ?

In the Lab at Experimentals, I've seen the Color Seeds images, a photo and below or next to it a color palette from the photo. I also think that's a nice way to show a photo. Would it be nice to make such a script, where at the bottom or next to the chosen photo, you can choose a number of colors with the color dropper that the palette makes under or next to the photo?

Marie-Claire, it can surely be done, fairly easily too, using a similar process as for the Palette Maker script.

 

On my to-do list!

[Marie-Claire]

Thank you !?

[Susan Ewart]

I'm quite interested in that new script too.

Same here! ??

Thanks to Marie-Claire, I had a "quick" script to fall back on, when I realized that the "new" script I had done earlier this week, was something I had already done!

 

[Marie-Claire]

Love it ! thank you Carole. ?

Marie-Claire - do you realize your Palette Maker2 has been at the top of the charts in the store for 10-12 weeks now?  Surely that is some sort of record!

It was such a good idea and is such a pretty end product!
