This is a tool for players to record their [Pigment Laboratory](http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Pigment_Laboratory)
ingredient reactions in [A Tale in the Desert](http://www.atitd.com/).
### Features
* Easily scans your screen for the paint bench reaction values, without any math, measuring, or manual number entry.
* Warns you when a reaction clipped below 0.
* Supports multiple character profiles.
* Can export to [PracticalPaint](http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale7/File:PracticalPaint.Zip) data format.
* Includes simulator for experimenting with recipes without spending ingredients.
* Includes a recipe generator
## Tale 9
* New papyrus texture in interfaces
* Earth Light was replaced by Falcon's Bait mushrooms. Practical Paint still uses the name EarthLight internally, so the data files still use that name here as well.
* Releases are 64-bit apps
* macOS build does not support Catalina (is not notarized)
## Tale 8
This application has not yet been tested for Tale 8. We will be testing it out as soon as we get our hands on a Pigment Lab. If you find any problems with it, please [open an issue](https://bitbucket.org/Malkyne/desert-paint-lab/issues) or /chat Afrah or Snoerr
in the game.
