I appreciate the new feature to be able to resize the color palette swatches 2x or 4x the default size . Thank you , thank you, thank you !



Is it bad form for me to ask for more ? (ducking for cover)


Because it is possible to resize the swatches 4x , why not the option in resize the swatches 6x and 8x ? If I only have a few colors in a palette , say , 5 to 9 colors in a custom palette for painting a character, it would be nice to have the swatches larger than 4x .


Selecting 4X increase:

Gets this result:

But for fewer colors as in this palette I would like the option to increase to 6x or 8x , so the swatches are larger:

I know you are only kidding.

Personally, I thought x4 was quite enough, but let's read what other people think about this.

i wouldn't mind, would not use it probably (not yet anyway :wink: )
but having such a list of options almost asks for a size slider !
David you know that you can make custom panels like you want them, by putting an image in the color mixer?

Although the process is not super easy (yet)
What I would like to see is to make this process easier by being able to paste the custombrush into the mixer.
or the clipboard.
why have this whole route of saving an image, setting the exportpanel takes time! and then importing it back into the colormixer.
i want copy paste there!

Yes , that is what I often do. (import a custom palette with larger swatches in the Mixer ).

But I thought , if it is now possible to enlarge the Palette swatches 4x , why not 6x or 8x ? So I'm asking ...

Yes, that would be a good option to have .

Don't hesitate to create new topic about that, to follow the discussion and avoid to lose information :D

Well, doesn't look like a hard feature to add :)
