🚧 Fixed bug with gradient slider and performance on color sliders. If you ran into an issue with it not grabbing the gradient handle properly, well, it's now a distant memory!

If you're wondering why the sheep is looking at you like that, he is hoping you'll notice that the lighting condition is D50 for sunlight for the LUT. This tool does advanced color management. It was its original purpose!

🆕 Mix mode dialog shows without obscuring image. Now, when you pick a mix mode, you can see how it affects the image in real-time.

🤓 One of the benefits of making your own web framework is that you can do things like this. No limitations = no excuses!

🆕 Overcame one of the weaknesses of the tool: figuring out where to even start!

Now, there is an ever present color bar beneath the tiles so that you don't have to open or keep track of the color group. Also, Color and Palette are nearer to the top.

just a lil early morning i slept for too many hours drawing, gradient backround made in the cool tool over at aheadsheep.com by @aheadsheep.bsky.social (sorry if tagging is obnox)

very confused lizardman stands in a softly layered curving gradient and says "slept a bit long again.

a red sun with inky black lines coming off of it is in the backround

🆕 Image size and zoom shows beneath or above the image depending on available space. Some performance fixes and other minor bug fixes.

🚧 Noticed this morning that the warp points and center point was not in the right place when changing scale. Fixed. Everything is where it ought to be now.

Still haven't fixed those apostrophes. 🤔 I think the main goal of the product is to show that real quality and value comes from humans and not AI that invalidates me by generating fake interactions while ironically trying to school me about inspiring trust.

On a related note, this article happens to highlight why I'm calling in sick to bot school today and can't take the test. #achoo
