Color Sorting

In this update I have implemented several color sorting options.

In the newly created menu options there are 9 possible sorting options to choose from. Six of them have the ability to sort in ascending/descending order simply by selecting option again. You are not limited to sorting entire palette. Each sorting option works also on smaller selections.

• Sorting by Hue
• Sorting by Saturation
• Sorting by Value
• Sorting by Red Color
• Sorting by Green Color
• Sorting by Blue Color

Three last options are harder to explain. They sort colors using distance metric. Colors are picked and placed according to distance between them. Color distance is very wide topic so I won't go into much further details here. Palette Wizard is using three metrics, each of them gives slightly different results. 

• Sorting by rgb* distance
• Sorting by hsv distance
• Sorting by lab distance

You can see in the GIF above that color ramps become visible after sorting random set of colors.

The last tool added in this update is a Draw Picker tool which can help picking colors from the image. Instead of picking them one by one you can just draw with this tool over the image and it will collect all touched colors.

Thank you for your support!
