It started during a regular editing session. I was working on a portrait and couldn't get the colors right. You know the feeling - you have a vision in your head, but translating it to the screen takes forever. I spent way too much time tweaking gradient maps, picking colors that didn't work together, starting over again and again.
That thought wouldn't leave me alone. So I started building a simple script to help me pick harmonious colors faster. One thing led to another - a color wheel interface here, a live preview there, some harmony modes because why not. Hours turned into weeks.
Gradient Wheel is 100% my baby. Every feature exists because I needed it myself. The analogous mode that saves me from color theory headaches. The presets system for keeping consistent looks across a gallery. The undo history because I change my mind a lot. It's built by a photographer, for photographers.
Now I use it on every single photo I edit. And honestly? I can't imagine going back to the old way of doing things.
