Painting with more than 2 colors

[desmondying]

you could use custom swatches to do it. load a bunch of colours from the colour picker to the swatches and just pick your colour from there if you are painting.

Yes your right, but i dont want to change my swatches colors config at every single character, prop or layer im doing.

It should be easy to write such script for photoshop, a floting bar with 12 colors that stay on top of your canva.

do you see what i mean ?

The colour swatches are the only way to have a 'floating bar' sitting above your canvas. You can use your preset manager so that you only have 12 swatches showing in your swatches palette.

Alternatively, make your swatches on a new layer and move it out of your way. That way, you can position wherever you need them and have them any size or shape you want. You can even blur or smudge them together so the colours blend a bit. Kinda like an real world painter's palette.

that's what i do.

Something I've started to do recently is whenever I do something in photoshop I create a 2nd picture for just my collors. When I decide to use a new collor I set my brush to a large hard round brush 100% flow 100% opacity and put a big dot on my second pic. That way if I need the collor later I just use my eye droppper.
