Title: Palette colors sorter (my tool/program)
Post by: DreamRunner on February 03, 2009, 05:16:56 am: Hello! I have made the useful program for pixel artists. Now it can sort palette of pictures from the Internet only.
Have you any ideas how to improve this small tool?

Edit: Link removed as it seems it has a trojan

Interesting (and handy!) tool, it reminds me of one I was going to make but haven't gotten around to.

My number 1 recommendation for improvement:
Make the source code available.

Really nothing else could help quality quite as much as that.

Other comments:
* In my opinion, with the default settings, the last three rows should be merged, considering how long the top row is. This may relate to the way you measure hue and saturation.
* You may need to switch to a more accurate colorspace like L*a*b to get really good quality sorting. For instance, try your program on http://pixelation.wayofthepixel.net/Themes/dark/images/smflogo.gif -- IMO it produces quite confusing results.

to save anyone catching it...whatever it is. Just a thought

Edit: Done - Panda
