# Character

This column handles the character palette (the current one in the palette's editor of the sprites editor.

The name "Character" is for compatibility purposes with Fighter Factory Classic, this doesn't implies that you can use only for characters.

When you open this editor, the current sprite and palette of the sprites editor will be set in this column. Any change in the image doesn't change the sprite. You can apply the changes in the palette using Commit changes, otherwise the changes will be discarded when you close this editor.

# Image or palette

This column handles an additional palette and image.

You can use it to transfer colors from a palette to another, or simply create/edit more than one palette at a time.
