Palette Import

Palette Import #

Through the Import/Export sidebar panel, the user can import some palette/swatch files which contain color information. The add-on will convert them to Blender palettes. Currently, the following file formats are supported:

  • .aco files used by Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint.
  • .swatches files used by Procreate.
In addition, color codes can also be directly pasted to Blender. Please refer to the clipboard utilities for more information.

Recolor with a Palette #

The add-on also provides with a utility to quickly color the drawing using the imported palette. By clicking the Recolor button in the sidebar panel and selecting a palette, vertex colors of the selected strokes/points will be replaced with the palette colors, according to either RGB or HSV similarity.

Additional notes for some options:

  • Normalize: Without normalization, each selected point will be recolored independently. On the contrary, this option enables taking the overall balance of all input points into account.
  • Preserve Saturation/Brightness: These options allow the user to keep some color attributes unchanged when applying the new color to a stroke/point.
