Step 11Step-by-Step Crib Sheet

This crib sheet assumes that you 1) already have mtPaint installed (from step 1) and 2) have created a few palettes (from step 5).

1) Open your image in mtPaint.

2) Crop image if necessary.

3) Scale image to the needed size. 1 pixel = 1 post-it.

4) Convert the image to Indexed color. Knock the amount of colors down to the number of colors that you will be working with.

5) Sort the palette to whatever sorted versions you have already saved. Hue and Luminance are the two easiest to see.

6) Open the saved palette file that was sorted the same way.

7) Image -> Information to get the Post-It count, and take a screenshot, crop, and print to get your guide.
