ArtistAssistApp Improvements – August 2025

ArtistAssistApp, also known as Artist Assist App, is a web app for artists to accurately mix any color from a photo, analyze tonal values, turn a photo into an outline, draw with the grid method, paint with a limited palette, simplify a photo, remove the background from an image, compare photos pairwise, and more.


Hello, artists! I am pleased to announce the latest update to the ArtistAssistApp, released in August 2025. This release introduces simple yet powerful improvements that make the app easier and more convenient to use than ever before.

Let's take a look at what's new since the last major update in June 2025!

Access the Palette Directly with the Color Picker

The improved Color picker was recently released. It makes the app much easier to use.
All colors added to the palette are displayed as circles of the corresponding colors on the Color picker tab. This eliminates the need to frequently switch to the Palette tab.
When you click on a colored circle, the color mixture saved to the palette is displayed first, followed by new mixture suggestions.
This way, you can clearly see where you picked samples for your mixtures in the palette and instantly access the saved mixture recipe.

Set a Simplified Photo as a Reference With a Single Click

On the Simplified tab, click the (vertical ellipsis) button, then click Use as reference. This allows you to instantly use the simplified photo on other tabs, including the Color picker tab.

2x2 Grid With Diagonals

In addition to existing rectangular grids with diagonals (4x4 and 3x3) and square grids of configurable size, the ArtistAssistApp now supports a new 2x2 rectangular grid with diagonals.

Add Grid Directly on the Outline Tab

To eliminate color clutter and make the drawing easier, you can put a grid over an outline. You can add a grid without leaving the Outline tab. Simply click the Grid button on the Outline tab to configure the grid.
