I tried you program, but it would print anything out in color, only black and white, and very dark so it made it hard to see. Also, can you send me a link to your program, as I thought I saved it in my favorites, but must not have.

Hey guys, I have updated PP to 1.4, which fixed a lot of issues and added some new features – be sure to check it out! (Use the new comments post to make comments so that I know you guys are talking about the new version)

I have another idea, how about adding the number key for each bead by its name, at the side? Because the packets don’t have names on them, and sometimes the names vary.

Thanks for all of the suggestions / comments guys – I should have a new version up this week with at least some of these suggestions. Stay tuned!

@Lee

Does it mean translucent grey?

Also, this program is really useful, but if I could make a few suggestions:

-Maybe instead of having all the long list of palettes, it could have the user’s palettes off to one side, and then check boxes for Hama and Perler (and both at once). And perhaps a toggle for grey or colour. I would guess these are the ones that most people use.

-Would it be possible to show the entire relevant palette (with mouseover colour names) at the bottom? I ask because sometimes it will pick the wrong colours, and I want to go into paint to edit the image, but there’s only a list of colours that are in it, not all available hama colours.

love it my only critique would be on Hama beads there is transparent black ..however that isn’t a color available in hama so is a bit irratating having to play about with it at times but great job otherwise

I have a feature request; The ability to select multiple palettes for a single image. That way, I could enter in the Nabbi PhotoPearl palette and use it along with the full Perler and full Hama palettes to get the absolute best colors (and reducing the need for “combined palettes” like “nabbi+hama”, “hama+perler”, “perler+nabbi”, “nabbi+hama+perler”, etc).

Hey, I love this tool and have made a few things with it already. The only question I have would be if the current palette will be updated to include the newer colors that are out there (Dark Grey, The Very Dark shade of Blue, etc).

Thanks! =D

Thanks for replying- appreciate it.

One thing I wanted to point out- I made a rather large color palette a while back (I think it’s called “Full” or something similar), and I noticed that when I use it, some of the colors glitch out. Black especially- it shows up on PerlerPal as just..well, nothing. The default grey background color. Does this happen when the palette exceeds a certain number of colors, or is this my computer acting up?

Fixed!

Thanks Ed.

Via the link you sent me, this worked:
-On the File menu, click Print. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Safari. Select Print Backgrounds. Click OK.

Also, I still swear the grid looks like rectangles on larger images, but I counted it out and it is in fact 29×29. I think I figured out why though…. each peg itself is a rectangle. Thats why the whole grid looks higher than wide.
