![]() Two new workflows that were explored to help bring more value to the feature: linking/unlinking and lock/unlocking harmonies. User Feedback After talking with users… The addition of monochrome harmonies were also provided to the original set of four Color HarmoniesĪfter speaking with multiple users, the initial method the Color Harmonies interacted with the Color Wheel proved to be too fluid and wasn’t as impactful as it could have been to the users. A lot of users liked the idea of having swatch points on the color wheel like in Coolorus but for the limited time we had for this project it was out of scope. This was a valuable pain-point in which we were able to address in our implementation of a Color Harmonies feature.Ī key competitor was Coolorus, named the best color wheel for Photoshop, a lot of our users were familiar with this product and would use it as a comparison for any implementation that was to be developed for Painter. Easy and free to use, these resources were already being used by the Painter user base but they existed outside of the Painter application making it difficult for users to save Harmonies and palettes within their painting program. There are many online resources that offer different algorithms for multiple Color Harmonies. I wanted to be able to provide an authentic and seamless experience to existing users and something easy to understand and learn for new users. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Understanding Painter’s design language and the users who create the amazing artwork was key to providing a solution that would best address their work. Each harmony evokes different feelings when used in artwork, and with a large overall user base, I wanted to be able to offer harmonies everyone could benefit from and use in their workflows.īeing my first time working on a full feature for Painter, there was a lot of quick learning about painting and artists workflows. Took a deep dive into the world of Color Theory to fully understand the impacts of different harmonies in different color spaces. ![]()
