Hi, I wrote a little extension that reduces the bit-depth of the palette. This can be useful when designing sprites for retro-hardware.

local spr = app.activeSprite

if not spr then
  return app.alert("There is no active sprite")
end

local dlg = Dialog("Reduce palette bit-depth")

local function showHelp()
  app.alert{title="Help", text={
    "This extension reduces the bit-depth of each palette color, which could be desirable if you",
    "want to match the color limitations of retro hardware such as an Atari ST.",
