### 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/tale6/File:PracticalPaint.zip) data format.
* Can export to [PracticalPaint](http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale7/File:PracticalPaint.Zip) data format.

When you're done testing your reactions, you can either use the built-in Pigment Lab simulator (`Window > Run Simulator`) to experiment with recipes, without dipping into your precious ingredient stocks. Alternatively, you can export your reactions in PracticalPaint format.
## Known Issues
### Slowness
If you are running on a multi-screen system, or a very high-resolution screen, you may find that Desert Paint Lab is rather slow in determining paint reactions. That's because you have a lot of screen real-estate to scan, to look for the Pigment Lab dialog. You can speed up the scanning process by ensuring that your Pigment Lab Dialog is as far to the upper-left of the screen as possible.
### Retina / High-Density Screens
High DPI screens may be displaying the game at something other than a 1:1 game-pixel to screen-pixel ratio. These screens didn't exist, back when Desert Paint Lab was created. A fix for this will be coming, soon.
