ColorTagz

Small app I’m working on.
Drag drop image, pick colors to make a tag

More or less getting finished now with added help, color spreads, ability to nudge colors up/down in tone.
Loading and saving now complete with loading of (jasc) .pal and .mx2palette files.

I’ve created a number of ‘default’ colortagz to play with and now need to work on image export

Then I’ll begin importing of the colortagz code into my other editors

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

first look at FontSprite editor with new ColorTagz loaded

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

Almost finished now:

You can see an image has been dropped and some colors picked from the image.

The toolbar has 2 extra ‘export’ icons for exporting the results as images:
the current ColorTag:

and also the colorTagz that have been defined

One the export is completely finished I will also up the loading code

Really great design, I can get many ideas from this.

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

I’ll up the loading code in the next few days

[AdamStrangeParticipant]

OK. Here’s the core colorTagz code with the loading routines:

In every drawing application there is only one swatch to draw with, a primary and secondary. My idea is to have a random color every time, that is chosen at random out of a set colors.

P.S. The starting code was this. I did expanded the code with by adding a few more tools like spray dots and such. But now I am ready to build a proper brush engine for more control.

Simple paint application.
