Color interpolation
After setting the colours at both ends, the middle colour can be automatically generated by interpolation.
Colour interpolation can be applied to existing colour row/column from v1.6.
Sample from canvas
Generate a palette from the canvas.
- Do NOT to use JPG format in your workflow. Because JPG will form a lot of subtle colours when compressed. This results in thousands of colours being found when sampling from a JPG imported canvas.
- In the settings, you can set the maximum number of colours sampled to limit the result colour count.
- Through the distribution and approximate relationship of colours, Resprite will select the colour combinations that meet the quantity requirements when found too many colours.
Clear palette
Remove all palette colours, Menu->Palette->Clear.
Import and export palette
In Menu->Palette, you can import or export palettes.
Supported palette file types:
- GPL: .gpl is a palette format from the GIMP drawing software, which is a general palette format now.
- RPL: .rpl is a palette format specific to Resprite, which is essentially a JSON file. It contains the location information of the colours.
Palette presets manager
Open it from Preferences->Palette settings or Menu->Palette->Load.
Resprite has several built-in palettes in the presets table. At the same time, you can save your palette to preset tables. In the Palette Presets Manager, you can set a palette as the default, and new sprites will be initialized with it.
Like indexed
Toggle it in Menu->Paltte->Like indexed, use it to quickly replace colour of entire sprite.
This is a variant of indexed colour. When turned on, changing the colour in the palette will change the corresponding colour in the canvas.
When the sprite is very large, the operation is time-consuming, and you may need to wait for one second or more.
The ColorPicker window
There are multiple display modes you can choose in settings.
If screen space is limited, you can also enable pen color in the palette and turn off the independent color picker.
You can also close the palette and color picker windows at the same time, and then display a pen color in the top bar. These are all adjusted in settings.
