Viewing images and exploring their colours
Look closer at an image and use its colours to find related things.
1 min readLook at the detail
Open an image from your collection or an answer's source reference. In the image viewer, use Zoom in and Zoom out to change the scale. Drag to move around a zoomed image; on a touch screen, pinch to zoom and drag to pan.
Choose Reset image view to fit the image again. If a source reference includes a location within the image, the viewer highlights that region. A reference without that information opens the image without a highlight.
Use the colour palette
When KayBi has found colours in an image, its source card includes a Colors section. Choose a colour name to search Home for that word. This starts a new search; it does not change the image or recolour your collection.
Use Copy beside a colour to copy its hex value, such as #AABBCC, for a design or note. The palette is a useful starting point, not a colour-calibrated measurement.
If a detail is missing
An image that is still processing may not have a palette or useful extracted details yet. If the viewer cannot load it, return to the card and check its status. Save the source file when you need to inspect it in another app.
