This was integrated into Pigment recently, however, you can only see other colored versions of any given page if, and only if, you haven't already started coloring it. What good is this to someone who is using previously colored versions of any particular page as inspiration? We need to be able to look at the colored page *while* we're coloring that page. And also, if we want to color the same page multiple different ways, we can't see the already colored pages once we have already colored that page the first time.

Thanks to the developers for making this available, but please make it available to us %100 of the time. It disappears after we start coloring.

In response to Pigment’s post today on Facebook about the roles/expectations of community members:

Overall, I agree with this post and am glad to see it. Maybe Pigment could open a thread/section on your Uservoice forum where users could give feedback on how the gallery and the community experience to continue this kind of discussion between users and staff? Since there is not a place for that, I’m going to comment here.

The two points in this post that gave me pause was: (1) “discuss personal feelings and anger towards Pigment guidelines in a public setting;” and (2) “discuss personal medical issues that could be disturbing to some.” I think these are points in which there are gray areas.

1. People who use Pigment should be allowed to talk about Pigment, we shouldn’t have to give up free speech about the app. There should, however, be an expectation that “Posts/comments that bully or attack staff are not allowed in the Gallery. Problems with Pigment or staff should be discussed with Pigment in a support ticket.” But I see many posts applauding Pigment and the mods, and reading this post gives me the impression that I’m not allowed to do that.

2. Many Pigment users use the app because of medical/mobility issues (I’ll call us Spoonies). Your tools make art possible for many Spoonies. It’s what made me become a subscriber and what keeps me a subscriber. As many of us started to see other Spoonies talk about how the app helps them enjoy/create art again we also started to cheer each other on and give support to each other. The way this point is worded makes me sad, because it appears to indicate that this is no longer allowed. I wonder if this is something that needs a little more specificity. Like “Posting images/comments about feeling suicidal, engaging in or supporting self-harm behaviors, or asking people for monetary support (like GoFundMe campaigns) is not allowed.” And “Posting excessive or inflammatory personal information which causes divisiveness in the community (such as topics pertaining to political hot topics, religious debate, conspiracy theories, sharing graphic medical or psychological information in a disturbing or graphically detailed way that appears to manipulate intervention from the community) may result in posted content being removed and loss of gallery participation access.” Many Spoonies do share medical details in a respectful way, or notice when a Spoonies suddenly stops posting for a longer than normal period, and then we reach out and ask if they are ok. That kind of caring and treating each other as humans (not just producers of images for my enjoyment/consumption) makes Pigment unique. This is one of those situations where some people need to learn how to scroll past things they don’t want to engage with, rather than acting as junior moderators. Or follow the rule of “Flag it and move on, don’t engage in confrontation with other users, let the mods make the call on appropriateness of posts/comments/accounts.” Maybe having a user option setting for “Only show posted artwork generated from Pigment-supplied coloring pages” would help those user avoid seeing all personal content so they don’t feel triggered or upset in the Gallery. But Pigment users are real people, facing real issues, living real life, and art is where many of us express ourselves and cope with these stressors. I’d hate to see Spoonies discriminated against as a whole when most of them are not crossing the line.

Thanks for listening and thank you for trying to keep Pigment a safe and creative place.

I love drawing but I also love knowing others have seen my drawings so I originally set my goals to be on the popular page( is still my goal) but after scrolling down (way down) I realized that some of my previous drawings actually did make it on the popular page but I had no way of knowing. I think alternatively an achievement or a series of achievements for gaining likes followers and one for the number of drawings you have colored would be awesome. And for completing these achievements non members will gain brushes, textures, or pages they don’t have and members will earn special brushes,textures, or pages. Please vote for this and think of how fun it could become.
