Title: Wood Color Pallet for Pattern Designing - Is there an App for that?
Post by: Pinelog on February 16, 2014, 01:24:13 am
I was working on a project in Paint.net and after I got my pattern the way I wanted it I started looking at it and wondering what it would look like with this kind of wood and that kind of backing.

It got me to thinking so Im here asking, Is there a wood color pallet program or even a decent BMP/GIF/JPEG that represents the different wood color ranges like say Aspen, Walnut, Maple, etc that I could use to get an idea of what this wood and that wood would look like with my pattern?

Someone has got to have developed a Photoshop plug in or app that will take the guess work out of just finding a color that "looks like wood"?

And yup I will be cross forum posting this to see if any of the artists have a solution for this and will share if I find one.

Sorry I can't give much info about Paint.net but, Photoshop has that feature.
It is listed under a category called PATTERN next to the Background color choices.
Maybe there is something in Paint that just doesn't have a label you would think
applied.
Good luck and God Bless!
