Color pod

In our quest of creating the best image editor for the masses I started to think about the color selector and the pads. The result for the toolbar was the new color pod where we now just have a main color and then six additional history pads.

So when you are drawing or working with skin tones etc you get this automatic swatch of the last used colors. When using the color picker you can simply select 6-7 colors you want to work with and then get going :)

The shortcut keys X and D are still working, X will reset to black and white while D will switch the main color to the last used one.

Out!

I think you should make a downloadable version... I only have internet on my phone! None in the house! I do photography, and i can send pics and upload stuff from the phone, but theres no way i can use ur program this way! I use to use it when i did have Internet! Eric Lyons. I have u on my FB. L8r

I like the idea of a downloadable version too!

But what I wanted to say: GREAT IDEA with the history pad, you really think from a users perspective!!!
It would be great to have shortcuts to bring up a floating color selector pad directly where the cursor is in the image, so you wouldn't always have to move the mouse to the side. The selector should only show as long as you hold the shortcut keys or until you click-selected a color and then disappear, so it's not like a palette wasting space on the image.

Please make an "Info" palette to give you readout of eyedropper point.
