Working with Pigments

Rebelle is the first software in the world with real physical color mixing based on traditional pigments in a full RGB color gamut. To work with Pigments, go to the Layers panel and turn the Pigments on by clicking on the button. This feature is available in Rebelle Pro edition.

Pigments are active on the selected layer when the button is highlighted.

When working with Pigments on a layer, it is not possible to use the blending modes on the same layer.

Note

When Pigments are enabled, the colors mix and blend together on the layer as well as blend with the layers below. When Pigments are disabled, the blending changes.

Color sets with the actual pigments are available in the Color panel. You can create your own color set with pigments too. To visually distinguish which color set consists of the pigments' names, mark it as 'Color Set with Pigments Names' via the Color panel menu. An icon will be displayed on this color set.

Thanks to the Pigment mixing method, all simulated media such as oil paints, watercolors, or pastels look realistic and natural:
