I've discovered a really cool web tool which is perfect for picking colours for quilts - a colour palette generator. Just upload a photo like the one above and in a few moments you have a palette like this:
Resizing Photos:
Digital cameras now take photos which are very large files and if you upload these to the internet they take ages. You can resize your photos very easily using a free 'Image Resizer' program from Microsoft which makes uploading photos so much quicker:
- First download then install the programme from here (scroll down to find 'Image Resizer')
- Now find the folder where you store your photos
- Right click on a photo and choose 'resize image'
- Choose from small, medium or large -I usually use medium
- Image resizer now makes a copy of your photo at this new size
- You can resize many photos at once by selecting them all before right clicking and resizing
I,m just browsing your blog, I like the colour idea, I have joined you as a follower, would you like to take a look at my blog. I live in the east midlands--cottonreel
ReplyDeleteThe colour palette could really come in handy if you were doing a landscape quilt. Thanks for the tip, Jessica
ReplyDeletegreat stuff thanks! I am going to give it a go now, My Daughter is getting married in March next year and this will be perfect for helping me colour coordinate too.
ReplyDeleteI like the color selector - I always struggle with color but it's easy to find photos I like.
ReplyDeleteI always pick the medium size photo on Flickr for my blog. Does this resize it like the website you mentioned?
Love the idea of the colour palette
