I've got a black and white image, and I want to load a custom color palette for a Gallery Show run. I can't figure out how to do that in the Gallery Show preferences.
What are the steps?
Bonus question: How do I do a truly randomized palette? When I select "Random Gen" in Gallery Show preferences I don't get very "colorful" output.
I'm looking for a more psychedelic/rainbow effect achieved either way… via a custom palette, or via random colors.
Any advice/tips?

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

Edit : Palette : Generate From : Random Coin Toss generates a random color palette.
The Random Gen option in the Palette Option in Gallery Show picks from a set of different approaches to generating a 'random' palette.
So i might be using that, or it might be using one of the Edit : Palette : Randomize Source Color menu options. Or other things like that.
keep in mind that you might have something setup in your gallery show processing cycle that loads or configures the color palette, blowing away what the Palette Option did. So you should check that.
Also, gallery show isn't going to necessarily use the color palette. that is up to how you configure your gallery show cycle.
If you are working with paint presets in gallery show, the painting is sensitive to how you have the Source area configured. So you can manually change the Source Area settings while it's running, changing the popup in there to different options, switching between the image, color, palette, gradient tabs, etc.
So make sure you have that setup to palettize if you want the color palette to be used, or be working with paint presets that have that dialed in inside of the paint synthesizer, etc.
