Tips

image\BULLET.gif Imported colors become named colors when you import them and are displayed in the Color Gallery and on the Color Line.

image\BULLET.gif For palette files that contain large numbers of colors, it may be easier to import the palette into a blank document and use the Color Gallery to move the required named colors from the blank document into your selected document. Using the Color Gallery to apply a named color from the blank document automatically copies that named color into the selected document.

image\BULLET.gif To create a palette file from Adobe Photoshop, select Indexed Color from the Mode menu and choose Color Table from the Mode menu.

image\BULLET.gif To create a palette file from PaintShop Pro V3, choose Save Palette from the Colors menu.

image\BULLET.gif You can only import colors from palette files when they are defined in color models supported by the program. e.g. PhotoColtone colors in ACT files will not import.
