Grayscale Gallery
Have a gallery for only uncolored grayscales that are being shared for others to color. Then people who don't want to see uncolored grayscales don't have to see them at all. Artists do not have to color before posting. Those of us who lave new grayscales connew them all we want.

I have one caveat to Lori’s comment, if this did happen where imports are routed to a separate gallery, would we have the option to have a checkbox that let’s us “opt out” having it auto placed there until we post it. I often will test my designs in Pigment and 10% of the time I am having to edit or delete them for rework. I don’t want to post it to a public gallery until I am ready to post it. I have a ton of designs in my work just waiting for me to release once I color the original then release both together. Just weighing in. 😊

I’m disabled and having the greyscale gallery would allow me to share my greyscale images so that I can see other colorist color them it takes me a long time to color one picture I enjoy the app by seeing others color the pictures I share having a seperategreyscale gallery would keep the cored gallery free for the colored gallery

Prior to another user creating this thread, I emailed Pigment & had a very courteous conversation about this very topic with Hannah. I offered 3 potentially workable solutions RE a separate gallery where not only uncolored GRAYSCALE images could be auto-routed upon upload, but uncolored LINEART images as well, thus not requiring designers to color every design they wish to post for others to color, AS WELL AS eliminating the "clogging the main gallery with uncolored images" issue.
I truly hope you will seriously consider this as a viable option in a future update, as I know many designers (including myself) who are a bit discouraged due to not having either the time or desire (or both) to color their own designs. There are also a great many colorists who have expressed discouragement at the large reduction in original designs from users since the new guideline was introduced.
PLEASE KNOW - I am very aware, as I believe most other users are, that Pigment is THE BEST DIGITAL COLORING APP AVAILABLE, and the selection of coloring pages provided is AMAZING and HUGE! There is NO COMPLAINT THERE! It's just that so many of us got a bit spoiled when so many people started posting such a plethora of designs in SO MANY styles, both grayscale & lineart alike.
Let me take this opportunity to express my thanks for all the time and effort the Pigment team puts into this wonderful app, and for allowing its users to share their original creations with their fellow Pigmentiers!
