It isn't seamless; actions by other users interrupt what you're doing, and visa versa.
|
||||
Sessions are not private, and you may lose your work at any time.

If you want better collaboration support, follow the development of [Mopaint](https://github.com/1j01/mopaint).

* You can also drag and drop palette files (of any format) into the app to load. (Dragging and dropping image files also works, to load images.)

* Touch support: use two fingers to pan the view.

* Click/tap the selected colors area to swap the foreground and background colors

## Supported File Formats
|
||||
|
||||
### Image Formats
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ Saving as JPEG will introduce artifacts that cause problems when using the Fill tool or transparent selections.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ Saving in some formats will reduce the number of colors in the image.
|
||||
|
||||
💡 Unlike in MS Paint, you can use **Edit > Undo** to revert color or quality reduction from saving.
|
||||
This doesn't undo saving the file, but allows you to then save in a different format with higher quality, using **File > Save As**.
|
||||
|
||||
💡 Saving as PNG is recommended as it gives small file sizes while retaining full quality.

"Read Palette" refers to loading the colors into the Colors box automatically (from an [indexed color](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexed_color) image),
|
||||
and "Write Palette" refers to writing an [indexed color](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexed_color) image.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Palette Formats
|
||||
|
||||
With **Colors > Save Colors** and **Colors > Get Colors** you can save and load colors
|
||||
in many different formats, for compatibility with a wide range of programs.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to add extensive palette support to another application, I've made this functionality available as a library:
