Color Counter

Description

Aseprite plugin that counts how many pixels are used for each RGB color.

Development Environment

Developed using Aseprite's API and programmed in Lua.

Why Was This Made?

To quickly count how much of each color is used in pixel art which is especially helpful when converting pixel art into other mediums (e.g. embroidery, fuse beads).

Installation Steps

• Must have Aseprite downloaded

How to Use

• You can select part of the sprite to only count colors within the selected area.

• You can add a keyboard shortcut by going to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > search for Count Cololors > hover over Key column and click on the Add button > fill in details > click OK

1. Open a sprite in Aseprite that's in RGB mode.

Limitations

• Avoid using the color counter outside of pixel or simple art as that will cause Aseprite to freeze due to performance issues

• Sprite must be in RGB mode
