You can also create boxes on the canvas, fill with the desired colors, and export it out as a .gpl (gimp palette) and save to your palette folder to use in Inkscape.
I can see this being really helpful for studying color. I'm a novice artist and I struggle with knowing what colors to use. When I look at a painting, for example, I get overwhelmed trying to figure out how the artist chose their colors and where to put them. This could help me break down complex references into larger chunks to better understand how the image works.
I only ever watched some videos and relied on mom's knowledge of Photoshop to use it rudimentarily. But this, it feels like I can learn this in a breeze for homework :D
I find it's probably easier to use the color picker to sample colors directly from the raster image. You can also click and drag the picker to sample an average from a certain radius if you don't want to get your value from a single pixel.
That's the quicker approach but I didn't like how the sampled colors looked when I tried it like that. They always looked muddy. The bitmap tracer does a good job of auto-generating them.
@@LogosByNick Yeah, I can see that happening when sampling an average from "noisy" (in terms of colour) areas of a raster pic. In these cases the tracer probably makes it easier by limiting the palette. Thanks for all your videos btw, they were a big factor for me in getting into Inkscape. Always to the point and easy to follow.
You might select an adjacent pixel (that isn't as pure/true to the color). The bitmap tracer method in this video, will find the median colors based on number of colors you wish to generate. IOW, the actual most common colors in the image.

.gpl isn't in the list of available export formats, what's the workaround?
My apologies. It's not under Export. It's under File > Save As. @@StarfighterJohansson
Oh, I see! It works beautifully, thank you very much! @@idowebwork

Excellent work. I wasn't sure what I would learn, but I certainly did. Thx!
Thanks Nick. That beats the crap out of my style called "Guess-a-lot"
This is gold!! ❤
Always the best advice
Thank you
Thanks for this tutorial.
Pure Gold 🥇!!!

I just keep learning with you ! Thanks.
Can you show us the easy way to make a travel poster ?

Thanks nick! Tjay Lagos, Nigeria
Well done
Hey Nick, it's time dude that you do a Scribus Quick Tutorial Series
Not related to this particular video, but do you think I would be able to create simple sewing patterns using Inkspace?
I really appreciate your video
I'm also using Macbook Pro Big Sur os 16gb Ram and inkscaoe 1.3.2 lag on it
What is the problem in directly picking it. From image by eye dropper.
You might select an adjacent pixel (that isn't as pure/true to the color). The bitmap tracer method in this video, will find the median colors based on number of colors you wish to generate. IOW, the actual most common colors in the image.
Maybe just color picking the image would be less heavy on the machine. :)
