Hi guys!I am the same guy who started this topic (lost my password) I am an acquaintance of Dan,
I am Conzeit https://conzeit.wordpress.com/category/projects/ @conzeit on twitter, not the most popular pixeler but I've been pixeling for kind of a long time.

I have been getitng into digital painting with krita, and I was happy to realize that the artistic/Index Color filter was an adaptation of this, to try to make it into a native feature of krita,
I had no idea you guys would take off on this so much, I would like to help give feedback to make it more usable, I would have been available and happy to give feedback on the features.
I have to say, as it is the implementation kind of baffles me? there is a bunch of checkboxes and light/dark/midtones areas. two areas where you can specify the colors per ramp...I dont really know how this works honestly. the maximum color cap does sound like a good idea though.

Also, I noticed the gradient map is available as a filter but not as a filter layer, is there a technical reason for this?

This sort of thing is meant to be taken from a pixelart sort of perspective, and from that perspective, I want to have absolute control of how many shades I will generate, the ideal thing would be a gradient dialogue where you can see the changes you made applied real time to the image. I dont want the program to decide what is light and dark for me, some palletes might have big jumps in their darkness so I want to adjust that by hand.

Let me just say, the idea of clicking between the nods in the gradient dialogue and being able to adjust the gradiation between nods is **** genius, been loving it with the gradient maps, maybe the same dialogue could be used for the indexed color filter, but you can input how many steps the gradient will take on top of that? that would be really good.

the other dialogue that would make sense is a pallete dialogue, but aligning that to bright & dark would be more complicated. although the posibility of color cycling could give way to very rich animation effects

Hi Wolthera,

Today I found this:

https://github.com/xTibor/krita-pixelgradientmap
Is it something in this subject we are waiting for???
I have no idea how to "glue it" to Krita, just to test it (as a plain user).

Gradient map will be made availeble one day, though when depends on someone writing the filter. Api-Beast said he wanted to do some architectural work before writing more filters.

Well, could you write is it already built-in (have I mislooked anything?) or still on the way, please?
