avidichard 2 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I did not really know how to say this or WHERE to put this. So I put a screenshot in the attachements. In words. If I am currently working with the primary color. It happens at times that I want to simply choose a secondary color from the my image and continue drawing with my primary color. THEN, I simply want to choose a color from below to change my primary color but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It switches myt secondary color I just picked. That is totally annoying. Reproduce: 1. Click on primary color box 2. Choose the color picker 3. Choose a color in your image using the RIGHT mouse button 4. LEFT click any color below BOOM - Secondary color changed to your picked color instead of the Primary one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No need to use the Primary/Secondary selector or the color swatch. You don't need to have the color picker tool active when you select a shade from the color swatch. And vice versa. Re-reading you post, you might also find the Keyboard shortcut C useful. It switches between the Primary and Secondary color slots.

Rick Brewster 1,751 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 There are a few weirdisms in the Colors window that I've been planning to address for the 4.2.15 update (right after 4.2.14, in other words). I've added your notes to the bug so I can use them while investigating. Thanks! 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to post Share on other sites
