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. The current version now prompts you for your screen resolution when it starts to work around this. If you see a crash when trying to capture a reaction, it's likely because the resolution is incorrect. For example, Snoerr's MacBook Pro has a retina screen with a resolution of 2880x1800. Mono (and therefore DesertPaintLab) detects it as having a resolution of 1440x900. He enters his resolution as 2880x1800 and sets the Game pixel width in screen pixels to 2.
## Mac user FAQ
Q: How do I find my native screen resolution?
A: You can find it by opening up "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and clicking on the "Displays" tab. That should show the screen size and resolution to enter.
Q: Why not a native Mac app bundle? Why make me use the command line?
A: That's in the works, along with a Windows installer that bundles up the GTK# dependencies so you don't have to install that separately.
