I love this tool ! There are so many elements of it's core design that I feel are BANG ON. The kernal of the idea is brilliant and I'm excited to see how this will improve. The colour extractions from images are excellent, the SORTING (omg! so cool to watch), swatch linking is probably the most impressive functionality for me and the tools for 'painting' effects on swatches is pretty slick. This tool is a joy to work with. It's early access, so obviously we're using a Beta ... It's got some room for improvement. The "undo/redo situation" is probably the most annoying thing for me at the moment. It needs to be smarter and less hostile to linked swatches. For example, if you've got any colour swatches linked and you press ctrl-z once - BOOM! it kills all the links but leaves the swatches behind. Even if what you were undoing was completely un-related to the links. Lack of keyboard shortcuts is mildly annoying for saving the project, linking swatches, etc Quitting will not auto-sa...

Constantly crashes when I press the reset button or try to import ASE files. Cannot edit global saturation of colors. A lot of potential with this editor if I could actually use it that way. EDIT: Actually, it crashes with GameMaker errors even while performing basic tasks. I find it completely unusable.

Slider sliders everywhere, but no way to type in a value.

It's the best color palette tool I could find on Steam. It does have all the color generation tools you might wish for, can replace colors in images, can extract colors from images (does not work on all images satisfactory, but theres also a manual mode), super cool ways to combine in 2 dimensions. The only thing I wish was different is the black background which should be changeable, because dark colors get invisible. Or it should be grey, or being animated so you can always distinguish colors from background. Anyway: Recommended!
