Palettes

 

A BPaint palette is a list of 256 colours.  The default palette when BPaint is first run will be a purple gradient.

 

The Image Palette Box displays and controls the currently loaded palette.  The Palette Adjuster is used to change the colours within the palette.  Colours can also be taken from the screen using the Colour Pick/Drop Tool.

 

From the Image Palette Box, two colours can be selected.  Clicking on a colour with the left mouse button will select an “ink” colour, while clicking on a colour with the right mouse button will select a “paper” colour.  The “ink” colour can also be selected from the screen using the Colour Pick Tool.

 

When drawing using the default brushes, they will be drawn using the current ink colour.  The same applies to all brushes when “colour” Draw mode is selected.

 

When drawing using custom brushes, the transparent area of the brush will be defined by the current paper colour.

 

BPaint palettes can be saved and loaded. They use a custom .PAL file type.
