Changelog

2019

20th December 2019

Improved the way paint ranges are loaded in the recipe editor to reduce overall page size.

Only paint ranges that have been added to the recipe will now be loaded. Adding a new paint range to a recipe will automatically load the paints into the recipe editor.

New recipes will start with any paint ranges in your inventory, the same ranges as in your last recipe or the three most popular paint ranges.
