Palette to Image

cr33dog — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:21:52 +0200

Palettes Menu -> Palette to Image

Take the active (selected) palette and create an image containing the colors and their names. Requires python.

Options:
- Font: pick the font for the name listing
- Size: size of each color

Tested with 2.6 and linux, but should work cross-platform.

TODO: it's hardcoded to a minimum of 200px wide - I should change that to something more reasonable. Some nice additions would be bg and text color selectors, and possibly some layout options (spacing, columns, etc.)

Have fun ;)

Sample Average Colour

ffaat — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:19:50 +0200

This simple plugin was created in response to a request here.

It simply samples the entire image colour, and allows you to either:
- Display the RGB or grey values
- Set the foregound colour
- Set the background colour
- Add it to the current palette (if editable)

There is a toggle to sample just the layer, or the merged image.

It registers in the Colour menu as "Sample Average Colour..." and should work for RGB, indexed, or greyscale images.

UPDATE: Version 1.1 of the script now respects image/layer transparency and selections.

Import Kuler (ASE) palettes

cr33dog — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:00:07 +0200

Import Kuler palettes into GIMP 2.6.

Palettes Dock -> Menu -> Palettes Menu -> Import Kuler palette...

This plug-in requires Python. Also, make sure that the .py file is executable! If you have already installed previous version of the plug-in, you must remove the old version.

Should now correctly handle RGB and La*b* palettes. Also, basic support is there for CMYK palettes - however, the CMYK conversion is not 100% accurate. One or more of your RGB values may be 1 less than what is specified in the Kuler interface.

Tested with GIMP 2.6.1 under Ubuntu 8.04 and Win XP. Reported to work under OS X Leopard.

EDIT: please see this link for a python program that does palette conversions:

GIMP Indexed palette selection tools

Stratadrake — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:26:00 +0200

I wrote this script using GIMP bug #88361 as inspiration. This script provides three functions that expand GIMP's ability to deal with indexed colors. I designed them with pixel artists in mind, who frequently store their target palette as a set of swatches in one region of the image they're working on.

(Image) > Colors > Map > Colormap to palette Creates a GIMP palette based on an indexed image's colormap, which can then be used just like any normal GIMP palette.

(Image) > Select > Save to palette Creates a GIMP palette based on the selected region of the current layer.

(Image) > Mode > Indexed from selection... Converts an image to indexed colors, using only the selected region to define the image's colormap.
