User Guide
To build a master palette, you add colors from a set
of images and then build and save the master
palette. To create a master palette for a batch of
images, you add colors to the palette from other
optimized images.
To create and apply a master palette:
1
With an image displayed, choose Image >
Master Palette > Clear Master Palette (if available).
Clearing the master palette ensures that colors
from previous images are not included in the
new palette.
2
Open an image whose colors you want to
include in a master palette.
3
Choose Image > Master Palette > Add To
Master Palette. All color information for the
current image is added to the master palette.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all images whose colors
you want to include in the master palette.
5
In the Optimize palette, select optimization
settings for the master palette.
6
Choose Image > Master Palette > Build Master
Palette to create a new color table from the color
information of images used in steps 2, 3, and 4.
7
Choose Image > Master Palette > Save
Master Palette.
8
Name the master palette and choose a location
where it will be saved. By default, the master
palette file is given the extension .act (for Adobe
Color Table).
If you want to access the color table when selecting
Optimization options for a GIF or PNG image,
save the master palette in the Optimized Colors
folder, inside the Presets folder in the Adobe
Photoshop folder.
9
Click Save.
10
To apply the master palette to the image or
images for which it was created, open the image or
images and select the master palette:
If the master palette appears in the Color
Reduction Algorithm menu in the Optimize
palette, select the master palette from this menu.
(The Color Reduction Algorithm menu includes
all palettes saved in the Optimized Colors folder,
inside the Presets folder in the Adobe Photoshop
folder.)
Load the master palette, as described in
“Loading and saving color tables” on page 336.
