Photo ColorPicker > Easy Palette
Let's say you have an image, and you quickly want to make a palette containing colors in that image, or related to that image. Photo ColorPicker makes this really simple and fast.
- On your computer, find an image. Supported file types are: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP.
- Drag-drop the image onto the main application window area in Photo ColorPicker. A new palette is auto-created, named with the same name as the image, and populated with the twelve (12) most significant colors in the image.
- Click on the palette to view the image and colors.
- Click on a color. The Relations panel live-updates Harmony, Variations, and Similar. To add, drag-drop any patch from these areas into your palette. Drag-drop the patch into the center area, or onto a palette listing under Projects.
- Check the "Synchronize" check box, found in the lower-left panel of the Photo ColorPicker main application window. This will export and install swatch files for Photoshop®, Illustrator®, InDesign®, and QuarkXPress®.
- For a newly created palette, you will need to relaunch your applications for them to see the new swatches.
- When updating an existing palette, you do not need to relaunch your applications for them to see updates.
- To share the palette with others, go to File > Export to export the palette in a wide variety of supported formats.
