When a color is a spot color the thumbnail is circular. The drop down contains all the entries, id numbers and names. Pressing the + icon will allow you to add a new swatch. On a swatch will give you a context menu with modify and delete options. On a group this will allow you to set the group name.ĭrag will allow you to drag and drop swatches and groups to order them. If so, the group will be merged with the default group.ĭouble a swatch will call up the edit window where you can change the color, the name, the id and whether it’s a spot color. When removing a group, Krita will always ask whether you’d like to keep the swatches. Pressing the delete icon will remove the selected swatch or group. To add an entry, just click a swatch and a new entry will be added with a default name and the current foreground color. That’s why you will get a grid with ‘transparency checkers’, indicating that there is no entry. Since 4.2 Krita’s color palettes are not just a list of colors to store, but also a grid to organize them on. Fill out the name input, pressing Save and Krita will select your new palette for you. Creating a new palette can be done by pressing the +. You can click on one and to load it into the docker, or click on import resources to load your own color palette from a file. To choose from the default palettes click on the icon in the bottom left corner of the docker, it will show a list of pre-loaded color palettes. You can choose from various default palettes or you can add your own colors to the palette. ![]() LunarKreatures: I couldn’t change the advanced color selector.New in version 4.2: The palette docker was overhauled in 4.2, allowing for grid ordering, storing palette in the document and more.The only problem is that I’m used to mixing colors from the top menu via the “Select a color” dialog box… this is because I like to change the palettes sometimes. raghukamath: Thank you! It was what I was looking for. ![]() If I give three pots of colors each in red, green and blue to a person and ask them to give me a shade of yellow… they will find it extremely difficult. Still, it’s easier and more intuitive to mix colors by a CMYK picker. Lynx3d: True, Gimp’s CMYK is fake: his 100% cyan is too light, as I said.Enabling Gamut Warning only partially solves the problem. Of course, there are files that can be converted, without any problems, from RGB to CMYK… but the ideal, if you are going to print in CMYK, is to create - and work with - the file in CMYK. One day my boss received an RGB file and tried to convert it to CMYK. LunarKreatures: My last job was as a designer in a fabric print shop.The printing cyan is also quite different from RGB “cyan” (max blue+green), you can’t get the latter at the same relative brightness and saturation as on your monitor, it’s either darker or less saturated. In reality, there is no pitch black ink or paint (not counting some nano-tech coatings like Vantablack that come very close), and all inkjet printers I’ve used so far did mix other colors with black ink to print the darkest black, unless you set it explicitly to grayscale mode to save color. ![]() That “fake” CMYK (no profile in Gimp) does not reflect how “real” CMYK works at all. If you go to the preferences and import Krita’s “Chemical proof” CMYK profile, then, surprise, you get the same colors in Gimp as in Krita. Regarding Gimp, you probably didn’t set a CMYK profile, then it doesn’t use “real” CMYK mixing, but a pseudo-CMYK that is just an inverted RGB model, thus giving you the full RGB gamut. Krita’s Specific Color Selector allows you to select in CMYK even when you work in RGB, and you can set it to percentages aswell.Īnd if you work on a CMYK document, the foreground color dialog will also show a CMYK based selector, with Cyan+Magenta in one square and Black+Yellow in another (the channel combinations can’t be changed currently…)
