Using Windows 10, Gimp 2.10.34
I am just learning how to create and work with Palettes in Gimp.
I was color picking to make palettes but tonight I found a super easy way to make a full palette and an easy way to sort the colors..
Open Image
Image > Mode > Indexed and follow instructions in the link to create a Colormap.
But using https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-colormap-remap.html
Colors > Map > Rearrange Colormap
On the popup menu Right Click and it will give you a preview of the various sorts available. You can reset it if you don't like any of the them.
But as I'm writing this I realize that won't work for a palette, only for colormaps. Mmm, there must be an easier way than manually moving each square of a palette.
Once you've made the Colormap you can Duplicate the Colormap and Rename it and it gets saved as a palette. Since we can sort Colormaps perhaps it's better to have Colormaps rather than Palettes. But sometimes we only want certain colors and make a palette, but then the sorting is tedious.
Are you able to export the Gimp Palette to Inkscape and sort it over there and then bring it back to Gimp?
I would love to hear if you are able to make it work.
Have you used the Palette tool > Import Palette> from Image and get more than one square?
