WOW

What a brilliantly useful and well thought out app this is. Massive thank you to the developer for the hard work!

Export Available!

The option to export into various formats makes this app truly great. You can tell a lot of care went into the creation of this color app. 5 Stars.

Colours!

Thank you

Love this app!

Just what I’ve been looking for. It’s perfect for color masking and works very well except for small glitches. I’d like to import it to procreate but it doesn’t seem to open so I’ve been taking a screenshot and opening as a reference. Any suggestions for exporting to procreate?

Response from developer

Thank you for your review, Michelepacific. You can export a wheel mask as a Procreate palette (or multiple palettes if it contains many colors). Tap on the share button on the top right corner and choose the “Procreate Palette(s)” option, tap on “Export” and then choose Procreate in the share sheet that will appear. The palette will then be available in Procreate in the “Palettes” tab of the color popup.

Exploding my brain!

I am new to painting and struggle with what color goes with what. Not anymore! So looking forward! Thank-you!

Fantastic tool. So much appreciated!

Genius

Nothing else here in the App Store comes close.

Preset Colors Not Flexible Enough

I like the concept, but want to select a particular color as a base or pull that color from a photograph. This doesn’t meet my needs.

Excellent!

I thought this kind of app would be too obscure to exist, but Lo and behold, you have provided. I came across this after learning James Gurney’s gamut mapping technique and wondering if there was an easy way to make a gamut mask palette for Procreate. This is so well designed and easy to use! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this, it is super useful :-)

Great for Procreate palettes!

Thank you, there is always room for improvement but great so far thank you for the updates!

Hate it

What’s the point in it being free to buy but have to pay to use it

To export a palette you have to pay

Seems decent enough but then when you come to export your palette you discover you have to pay. Would be nice to have seen that in the description. I’ll figure a way to work around it.

In a word: Wow

I’m incredibly impressed with how cleanly this application has been built, its functionality, and Roger’s commitment to honouring the people involved.

Monologue: This is an app the way they used to be built over five years ago, before large corporations began producing most of what we get, and developers resorted to cheap tricks and deceitful adtech/bloatware & subscription methods to keep greed happy. In short, this is an app in the true spirit of the pioneering developers who made Apple’s iPhone an excellent tool for productivity. Get it, if for no other reason than seeing how an app can be built.

Update Got Palettes Working

Despite developer response, the palettes from this app only worked after his app was updated and procreate was not.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, I’m glad that you were able to export your palettes to Procreate. I found a workaround for the problem and I released it as soon as I could so WheelMasks users wouldn’t have to wait for a Procreate release. Swatches files generated with older versions of WheelMasks should work again now that Procreate has been updated.

Very Practical Creative Tool

WheelMasks is a great value!
I am a composer and producer, and I do all of the artwork for my albums and apps with Procreate. WheelMasks makes the task of building a custom color palette super simple and fun. I reported a small bug related to exporting palettes to Procreate, and the developer replied immediately and then posted an update within a few days.

Paid For Exporting

Paid for the exporting so I could easily export palettes to Procreate. The first export worked fairly easily. I received an auto update from Procreate for Procreate 5 and now Wheel Masks only exports blank files to Procreate.

Would love to give five stars, but would like the app to be compatible with Procreate 5 in the near future so I can continue to use what I paid for.

Response from developer

I’ve released WheelMasks version 1.1.4 which improves the Procreate swatches file compatibility and should work with Procreate 5. Please let me know if you’re still having problems loading the palettes at apps@rogertallada.com.

Super easy and simple

I like this app, it’s an easy and simple way to build color palettes. I read that Shag uses shapes on a color wheel like this to cook up color schemes for his paintings, so I wanted to try it. This does an easy job of it, and it’s free!

super useful but.....

the app crashes when i try and export .pngs to save to my ipad. Please fix..

Response from developer

Hi Moebocop, I've released version 1.1.2 that should fix this issue. If you're still having problems please let me know at apps@rogertallada.com.

Under rated

Quite new to Procreate and have been using swatches from other users to try to improve the look of my paintings. This little app has allowed me to create my own swatches. It’s a really great addition to Procreate, something that they should buy up and put into the app itself. Hope the developer finds the time to add mote in the future.
