...keep a custom swatches image on startup?

[Greenlaw]

Also I'm an official fan of the Swatches setup presented here!

That's Lucy...he decided to move into our house last year.

The custom swatch pictures look very small in the style window. Is it possible to make them bigger?

[Greenlaw]

Unfortunately, no.

TBH, for image sampling, I prefer to import my palette to an Image Layer and sample from there. An image layer can be placed anywhere, and scaled to any size, and is more easily hidden and shown as needed. I can even set it to not render or not be selectable, only sampled from. I find it more useful this way.

If it needs to be easily accessible, the image can place in the Library window, or made part of a Moho Template file. (I use a Template for multiple custom guides I use a lot.)

BTW, colors can be sampled from non-Moho windows too. I use PureRef to display reference images while I work, and it's great for Moho color sampling, too.

Hope this helps.

Here's a recent example. I used this setup when I was updating Mameneko's colors for the tutorial series.



I was playing with multiple palettes, and most are hidden in the above screen cap because I no longer needed to see them.

I use the Style Window's Swatches to sample colors I use often, but most of the time, I keep Swatches closed to make the window more compact. (My laptop screen is kinda small.)

Thanks Greenlaw, thats a great idea! I will try to put my swatches on a non renderable Layer:)
