HuePaint 4+

Joseph Albers would approve

I use most of the available painting apps that are worth the effort.
I started pushing and busting pixels pre 2K when Photoshop was at v3.5 and if you didn’t have a CD ROM drive you had the option of installing with the 3.5” floppies that came in the plastic binder folders … all 15 of them - and Painter came in an actual aluminum gallon of paint which was made by a Santa Cruz company called Fractal Design.

With everything you can accomplish with procreate these days, it lacks the painting engine that other apps have and requires you to look the other way when it comes to the realistic feel of applying paint and mixing on the fly.

This app doesn’t do all of that precise object manipulation and placing, but it sure feels nice to paint with color and use your pencil’s pressure to mix and adjust size with. The only thing I would suggest an improvement with is a better and more obvious tool sizing interface. Other than that it does what it says it does and that’s all I want it to do.

Great job devs!

Not happy with new update

I am so disappointed in the new update on this app.I wish you would let well enough alone. I don’t like the way you pick a brush size and the other circles for us to figure out.i am confused about the colors and tried to find a true white but didn’t find it on the color choices. Can you please go back to the way it was before?
This was one of my favorite apps.

PS. Where is the eye dropper?

Developer Response ,

You can also tap a control knob (such as Size) to change it in steps, which is closer to how it used to work.
If you don't know how to adjust the hue, saturation and brightness knobs to get true white, you can tap the Current Color and then select "Basic Colors". There you will find true white (and other colors).
If you have upgraded to Pro, the eyedropper can be activated by long-pressing the current color (the large colored rectangle).

Love this app

I upgraded, not because I understand what I’m getting by upgrading, but in appreciation for an app that accepted outside coloring pictures as their own, and made my whole first experience so easy and so much fun, and even enabled me to share my colored page anywhere I wanted right after. For all that, they deserve to be paid.
