User Guide

Colorest offers multiple coloring methods to help you color faster and better. For those who closed the help page immediately, here's a detailed guide on how to use the coloring tools with proper gestures.

Two Canvas Operation Modes: Two-Hand Mode, One-Hand Mode

Two-Hand Mode is the default coloring mode. It supports both two-hand and one-hand button operations.

You can perform single tap coloring, continuous coloring, gradient ring coloring, and free drawing with one hand.

Recommended for iPad version.

One-Hand Mode canvasOn is also called Canvas Mode. Single-hand sliding moves the canvas. Combined with zoomOut zoomIn, you can perfectly move and zoom the canvas with one hand.

Note: In this mode, one-hand free drawing and continuous coloring are disabled. You need to press the button again to switch to two-hand mode for continuous coloring. Other operations like single tap and gradient ring work normally.

Recommended for iPhone version, where your thumb can easily reach these three buttons.

Single Tap Coloring

This is the most basic and simple operation. Single tap works in both normal coloring mode and canvas mode.

Note: When using continuous coloring, colored blocks cannot be modified, but you can use single tap to change the color.

Continuous Coloring

tutorial_gesture1FingerDragFillLine

For multiple blank areas, you can color continuously by dragging. The app protects already colored blocks, so continuous coloring won't respond when touching these areas.

Note: In one-hand mode canvasOn, this operation becomes canvas movement. In drawing mode drawMode, this becomes normal drawing.

Radial Gradient

Gradient is great! Long press the canvas, make sure your finger doesn't move too much, and after half a second an icon will appear.

Then move your finger horizontally or vertically. Horizontal movement fills with sharp-edged gradient ring, vertical movement fills with soft-edged gradient ring.

Note: In coloring mode, the gradient ring won't exceed the coloring area. In drawing mode, it can exceed the area.

Free Drawing
