Color picker in Penny for PD Particles

If you use Penny, the free plugin for PD Particles (or the version in PD Pro)
you may be interested in knowing that the keyboard shortcut ',' (the komma)
acts as temporary color picker not only
inside of the normal painting environment, but also inside of
Penny. Thus, if you use Penny to paint, then save an unfinished image,
and later re-open that image and continue working with Penny on that
unfinished image, you can quickly get the colors re-used by pressing
and holding the komma key which serves as temporary switch to a color
picker mode. The moment you release the key, it returns to normal
painting mode, just like what happens in the main paint engine.
Thus, even though Penny's interface doesn't have a color picker icon,
it still does have the color picker capability through the keyboard
shortcut. This helps you to focus on your drawing, and removes the need
to switch back and forth from the drawing buffer to the interface.
happy speed-painting!
