Really there are only two features I could wish for - the first, as people have mentioned, would be a way to mask regions for different color palettes - for example, on the attached sprite character image, I would love to be able to mask out the face so the black and white pixels there were NOT swapped to the new palette.
The second feature would actually be a batch processing function. I ended up in a situation where I needed to swap several thousand very small sprite parts from one palette to another for a "paper doll" type program, and the only batch file palette tool I could find was this java applet: https://github.com/SkyAphid/PaletteSwapper
And honestly ... it was buggy enough that it was only *slightly* better than doing it by hand in an image editing program. I expected to do touch-ups, but there was also a lot of rework I had to do on incorrect swaps.
Well if you're going to be tinkering in it anyway... it would make me very happy if there was an option to display hex colors instead of/in addition to RGB, since that's what my programmer needs for the projects that I'm working on.
I was looking around the internet for a palette-swapping tool, and this appears to be almost exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you for making it and putting it out there for people to use.
Ooh, updates for PPT!

Ohmigosh! I wasn't watching the email I have attached to this account. Thank you so much, this looks great!!! It will definitely simplify my workflow.
