The other one is Perceptual Palette, which is made by Mark "lemec". (my question: why do so many plugin developers choose to ignore capitalization of first letters in their names?) and is referred to as PP, or PPalette; a real color palette.
Picture Palette, as far as I can see, will never be adapted to the Mac and neither will any other plugins dhomas has developed. His Toolbox does not work well anymore in TVP9 and he has shown no interest in even fixing that. He's in it purely for the money and he has lost interest after discovering what all plugin makers know, which is that without a hefty dose of emotional interest tied into the software which supplies the SDKs as a source of plugins, you can pretty much give up any ambitions of making plugins purely as a source of income.
Right here I'd like to hail all the other suppliers of TVP plugins who generously share with us for free so much of their expertise, just for the joy of contributing to the attractiveness of the software. I don't want to attempt to name them because I know I could easily leave someone unfairly out, and there are quite a few of these fellow members to have this happen to me.
What I recommend you do is simply open another project just for their use as picture palettes. Projects can now be reduced to the size of postage stamps and can give you exactly the same functions as Picture Pallete does; you can pick colors directly off of their surfaces too and what they can do better actually is,that they allow you to store within them a whole line of thematic images downloaded from the Internet.
Paul, you are speaking too fast
we are currently working with dhomas and mark to make their plug-in work on TVP Animation 9.0
here is a quote from an email of Dhomas, from ... yesterday.
I'm just working on testing plugins with 9.x and then will update my website and send along a link for you.
Also, don't forget that developping a software or a plug-in require work, time and material (PC, MAC, compilation software, people to make the tests, SDK, ...)
