lana del ray Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Does anyone know or is capable of making a plugin that would list all the colors present in an image and allow to edit each separately, or something of that sort? I found TRsColorReducer while looking for that type of plugin, but this one is not compactible with the current version of paint.net. Alternatively, is there a plugin that would allow for png images to be saved with 3-bit color encoding instead of the default powers of 2 ones?

Sorry to say but PNG format specification doesn't support 3-bit encoding. You may use 4-bit with 8 colors in the color table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR's Color Reducer seems to work fine for me. What specific issues are you seeing? Quote (June 9th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

I tried installing it before asking for advice here and it changed nothing to the UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) You can use Effects->Colors->Quantize with 0 dithering level. Then, you can use this plugin to replace the colors. (Tip: Use Color Picker tool to get color values) Edited February 1, 2022 by otuncelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tip: Use Color Picker tool to get color values) Do you use a plugin for that "Quantize" effect, or is it a matter of paint.net version (i use 4.2.15 btw)? Thanks for that plugin btw, it installed itself nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) No, it's not a plugin. It was a new effect added in 4.2.16. Btw, this plugin works in both 4.2.16 and the current latest (4.3.7). Edited February 3, 2022 by otuncelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lana del ray Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Installed the update, it works well with that plugin, now the last problem is how do i convert colors in an image according to a previously made color palette, so that the 8 colors i have average themselves out to the closest color from the palette (000000 would still be 000000, 0001AA would become 0000FF, and so on). Sorry if im asking too much, im still new to this program. Edited February 3, 2022 by lana del ray Some embarrasing typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuncelli Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) These are hexadecimal representation of colors. Get their R,G,B,A values first: 0001AA = RGBA(0, 1, 170,255) 0000FF = RGBA(0, 0, 255,255) Then enter them line by line into the text field in the plugin. It'll will replace the left-hand-side color with right-hand-side color. 0,1,170,255=0,0,255,255 ... ... Still, you won't be able to save the output as 3 bit PNG. It's not supported. You can save the output as 4 bit with 3 bit palette. Edited February 4, 2022 by otuncelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
