assign hue percentage when indexing ?

Hey, is it possible to create something like assigning more colours to blue when i have issues with too much banding on sea? So instead of auto assigning number of blue shades to lets say 5 i can do it myself  and extend it to 10 shades  when indexing ? I think that would solve this issue, heres example of ocean , i had to use dithering and it wont make to ocean look better if i use 32 colours or 128, its pretty much the same for ocean cause probably other colours get assigned and not blue one which is most important for me on this image... so i think this suggestion should fix this if its even possible to implement.MArked the image with a circle so you will see what i mean.

Also this could help with images converted to pixelart where thres like hand image and i want just skin colours but for some reason theres like 5 specks of blue /brown colour and i want to get rid of them so they wont be included in the palette since theyre unimportant and i dont want to waste colour on a speck or dirt /artifact when downscaling.

Such control could improve a lot when downscaling and we would have a say when we want more colours for skintone, more for sky, more for grass etc...

What do You think ? Maybe there is a functionality aleady built in that will help me solve the issue and control indexation better ?


Hey, I think in your case you could just import the palette and add transitive colors ?

Is there any tutorial video on that ?

Oh i think i know , i select 2 colours and add inbetween ones, that pretty neat 

I think i also need to change dithering patterns, is there any place to downoad them?


You know what would be nice? If i would have original image non indexed on side and i would be able to pick colours from it to add to idexed palette, is there a way to do this ?

Ok i have to swich between no effects view to get original image so i can piuckup colors but it would be so much better to be able to do it without having to swithch previews, also theres a bug where after picking colour the image wont update, so i add new color for pants and image wont update itself with new pant colurs, i have to turn off and on indexation to fix this and change pants colour.

Theres a bug probably some math typo when calculating bezier curve and looping, theres slight stop during animation when you select bezier curve and try to have a perfect looping animation like sqeeze or something, its not as smooth as bezier should be on that loop point , its like it stays for one frame extra when starting from frame 0  and suddenly restarts to frame 1 etc , i suspect theres something there.

Yeah i think default bezier settings are mess, i set slider to the middle (x,y stuff) and it looks better so you might want to look at default settings and maybe use ones that are perfect curve cause its still not there with my changed settings, maybe some math algo is off.

Yeah i checked simple sine and inout  on 2 keyfreames - got perfect bezier S curve so thats that.


Another bug - when you switch to HSV and try to move Saturation or Hue slider when picking colors, it goes to RGB, so only Hue slider works in HSV

I keep forgetting what the shortcut to go to next keyframe... no shortcuts list ?


I noticed that when animating with dithering, it doesnt generate dighering in realtime , its kinda baked into the image, can i change this so its realtime ?

A lot of time spacebar to playback doesnt work even if mouse cursor is on timeline, also when i export animation to gif but have timeline playback speed to 0.5 then it still exports with fullspeed, id like to have half the speed like it was when i was animating it, otherwise its kinda no use if its only for preview

 

The dithering patterns are in the folder when you download PixelOver (called dithering)


Maybe for picking color you could use comparison between views ?

Yes for bezier it should be improved to add curve visualisation.

For HSV, it is fixed since v0.14.2, do you use the latest version ?

All shortcuts are in settings/shortcuts : 

But there isn't shortcuts to go next/previous keyframes, I'll note that for a future update.

Dithering is well generated in realtime, what's make you say that ?

Maybe you have an input selected when you try to do the spacebar ? I'll double check on my side. Yes I hesitated about the playspeed because it override the FPS, but yes I understand, I'll keep it with the export (maybe an optional option "on" by default).

Screen spluit helps that great , do You plan to add an option so when you open big image then canvas size is resized to fit it in? When i open big images then i have to scale up canvas size myself , it would be convenient to detect the size of first imported image and set canvas size to that.

And they shortcuts for next/previous keyframe is the thing i personally use a lot, saves tons of time, i dont have to hunt for exact keyframe with mouse cursor.

Ah also, transparent colour( first one in palette) it would be nice if we could set it to display transparency, so if  we have portrait image and  background  behind character is pink colour, and this colour is first in out palette then it would not show up in preview cause its transparent , but this would be nice as optionable not default .

The issue is as the software uses realtime shader, high res canvas may lag. But maybe the canvas could be resized under a maximum size

Doesnt lag here even with huge sizes, but this is mainly to save time, i do alot of converting in pixelover and making some of the same steps over and over and over again cause some settings are locked to default values that arent really that friendly to what i do is a bit tiresome after few hours.

A button for this canvas auto scale to the image we import would be useful , also how i can make pixelover to index to 16 colours by default 

and not to 8?

When it asks me if i want to save before closing, id like to be able to use arrows to choose no or yes, too much is mouse hovering , especially today when everything is shortcut oriented

Also other settings like separate folder for gifs, i want it to rememebr that i dont want separate folder but i have to click that option all the time ... i want to make default settings for myself for a lot of stuff so i dont have to do same thing over and over and it will remember what i use , is there a way to do that ?

What would be nice is saving new default configuration for lot of options at once, of course reset to your defaults as well but i d like to control my defaults.
