Scale down the color count in your image.


Greatly reduce file sizes.


 Use the selection to limit the area modified,


If reduced to less than 1000 Colors you can edit the color table.


If 96 colors or less you can save a Custom Palette!!!


 


Menu: Effect -> Color

This is great! (even runs on Pdn 3.5.11)
Love the superquick progress-bar through the image and the ability to save palettes will be useful.

As the colours are reduced the tones tend to get darker - presumably integers rounding down - or is it just my perception? :/
If that is the case perhaps you could consider an option or control to bias the tone of the new colours?

Good work - thanks! B)

if you play with the divider (95 to 96 to 94) you'll see it re-rounds and re-interprets the shading.

 

Thanks Red

Found a little UI rendering issue.  The smaller lower slider is partially obscured by the text box above.

Dear TR thanks for all your hard work.

 

I noticed that pallete files created with this plugin contain line breaks that break long comment lines:

 

; paint.net Palette File
; Lines that start with a semicolon are comments
; Colors are written as 8-digit hexadecimal numbers: aarrggbb
; For example, this would specify green: FF00FF00
; The alpha ('aa') value specifies how transparent a color is. FF is fully

opaque, 00 is fully transparent.
; A palette must consist of ninety six (96) colors. If there are less than

this, the remaining color
; slots will be set to white (FFFFFFFF). If there are more, then the remaining

colors will be ignored.

TechnoRobbo hasn't been on the forum for a few months. Your best bet is to accept that, for now, you need to manually edit the palette.

Me too! His input here is sorely missed :(
