    Pixel Painter - An app for recolouring images.



    This is a small application that was inspired and designed based on GIMP's colourize feature. It has the ability to recolor any image much in the same way GIMP's colorize feature does it. It was designed specifically for recolouring multiple sprites from old games like Doom.

    Included in the zip are a set of sprites you can test it out on. Though it can recolour ANY image, it works best on small images with a limited amount of colours, like 8 bit images, which is why I provided the sprites. It is quite clumsy when dealing with large images with huge amount of colours like camera photos. It wasn't designed with high quality photos in mind.

    How to use

    Place the mouse over any control on the main window and press F1 to get help on how the control should be used. These tips would help you to figure out how to use the application. And as always feel free to ask questions.

    Additional Credit

    Tanner Hellend for helping me to better understand how digital colours work.

    Richard Carr for posting the code that I eventually found and used to convert between the RGB and HSL colour spaces. Without it, this project would have taken me much longer to write.

    Enjoy.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    Hi, Niya

    Pixel Painter looks great!

    It doesn't work with my version of VB, 2010, but inspires me to code one myself.

    It was made in VS2013. So it would work only with VS2013 and newer. You could open a new VS2010 solution, create two projects and add the files manually.
