Hi<\/p>\n

In Celebration of plain weave<\/a> (page 27) Annie MacHale explains how to extract colors from a picture to create a color palette.<\/p>\n

I tried to add a basic function like this in Seizenn. (<\/a>https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/seizenn\/)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Open the Palette tool \"\" and go down the page to \"\"<\/p>\n

You first need to load a picture. You can get a random picture from unsplash.com with\u00a0\"\" or load your own picture with \"\". If you use Seizenn on a smartphone, you can get access to your camera !<\/p>\n

For example, with a random picture, you can get :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then Seizen use two different algorithms to extract colors from this picture :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the first button, you take all those colors to create a new main palette<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But it could be tricky to find yarns with the wanted colors. So instead of getting all the colors in a new color palette, use the second button.<\/p>\n

Imagine that you use this main palette (the default one) and that you have all those colors at home<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you click on the “filter” button, Seizenn will try to find de nearest colors in your main palette that will fit the colors from the picture. You then get<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Sometimes, if main palette quite poor, it chooses colors that doesn’t seem to be very relevant)<\/p>\n

Clic on “Add colors…” to get those colors in your loom palette and remove colors you don’t want to use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You are now ready to design a pattern inspired by your picture<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Link to the pattern : https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/seizenn\/?sc=Fa8<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe not the perfect tool, but a first try to see if it would be useful for someone.<\/p>\n
