Edit a Color Palette to Reduce Colors

I am trying to reduce the number of colors in a file.
If I save for web devices and reduce the number of colors, Photoshop appears to go by volume, rather rather than distinctiveness. Area of distinct colors get merged and multiple shades of similar colors stay.
Is there any way to edit the color palette so that I can explicity merge colors. Make all A and B, A.

yes, covert the image to Indexed Mode and then you can select how many colors you'd like your image to contain (I believe it's up to 256 colors in this mode). Image/Mode/Indexed Color and then once you've selected your color scheme, you can convert it back to RGB mode.

  • Defining the color index (populate the color palette with custom colors in an orderly manner)

    Hi,
    In Excel 2003 I used the following lines (see BELOW) to populate my color palate (in an orderly manner) with custom colors.
    It appears that these commands did not make the migration to Excel 2013.
    Could someone please help me with the fix.

    Hi Peter,
    THANK YOU for your reply.
    I have just enough VBA skills to get myself into trouble PLUS it's been a LONG time since (with any regularity) I've written any subRoutines.

  • Auto Apply Custom Color Palette to photo?

    I have two questions:
    1) Is there a way to automatically capture colors from a photo to automatically create a custom color palette? (for example, if I want a color palette of 20 colors, it would automatically pick 20 colors and create a palette).
    2) Is there a way to take a custom color palette, and automatically apply that palette to a photo?
    (I don't want to just use the color picker to choose my colors....I am looking for automation)
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure... maybe I could use index colors.... I will look into that. I have found some "color palette generators" online, which I need to investigate also. I just thought that maybe there was a feature directly in photoshop that might work.
    Attached are sample images. I would like to automatically take a color palette from the lilies, and apply those colors automatically to the forest. I would like the forest to have the same color scheme as the lilies, so that the two images would look very similar.

  • Indexed Color Palette Bitmap Possible?

    Hi. I am writing a Karaoke CDG player and hit a problem. The the CDG graphic data uses color palettes. The pixel data is an index into a color palette of 16 colors. The player works but some songs use fade type effects and other tricks by changing the color palette quickly over time. The way I have this implemented right now is to maintain a seperate array containing the colors and lookup the color for each pixel and call setPixel in a BitmapData object. It works fast enough during normal playback but it's way too slow to update the palette and call set pixel on the image data. Is there a way to actually use palette based bitmaps or can you think of a faster way of transforming individual colors in an existing bitmap without calling getPixel/setPixel. Thanks.

    I managed to find a way to solve my problem using the paletteMap method of the BitmapData class.
    BTW not sure if there is a standard area to publish community code but the Karaoke CDG component is available if anyone wants it. The component basically plays and renders Karaoke mp3/cdg files.

  • When to credit the color palette author?

    I am new to the site, read the adobe terms etc and still not sure about this so I'm asking,
    I create personal and professional web sites (developer skills only) and the kuler site has great color palettes, esp. for color-challenged like me. Anyway, can i use the hex colors from the palettes in personal and professional sites? and if so is giving credit to the creator required? If required, how do I do that? Can I use small, readable print in the welcome page footer? or burried deeper in the site? or in hidden code?
    I have no problem giving credit but want to know if its required and how?
    Thanks.

    bt10988,
    For any color themes that have been shared publically with the community, I'm unaware of any requirements regarding crediting the author once shared. That being said, I can't imagine most creators minding if you gave them credit on a website in whatever way you felt so inclined to do so.
    Hope that helps,

  • Emacs color palette

    I was wondering if anybody knows how to restore the Emacs color palette to the Color Palette.
    This color palette used to be an option along with "Apple", "Developer", "Crayons" and "Web Safe Colors" but I recently upgraded my OS (10.3 to 10.4) and now this option is gone.
    I don't know if this color palette was available right from the beginning or if it got instlled with Emacs. I have installed various versions of Emacs at one time or another to try them and I have tried installing several of them on 10.4 to see if it restores the palette but so far have been unsuccessful.
    This was an amazing palette to use for all kinds of things. If it is no longer available can anybody suggest another palette with good range of colors? I find the default ones to be too limiting.
    Thanks.

    isomarct wrote:After the update the value of TERM is now `xterm-256color`, so it is now using 256 colors. My guess is that the terminal was in 16 colors before the update (I don't actually know).
    Yay, Thanks for letting me know that gnome-terminal finally fixed this bug!
    Yes, previously gnome-terminal just declared TERM as "xterm" so vim etc, by default, only used 16 colors. Now I can go and remove the bashrc/vimrc hacks I had to work around this.

  • Animated gif changes color palette while playing

    Hi everyone,
    I've been creating animted gifs using Matlab and the ImageMagick suite (convert). If I open the gifs in Preview, the color comes out fine in each frame; however i I use Quicktime (which is necessary, that's what we use for presentations) the color palette will change as the frames play.
    I just got the newest version of Quicktime, hoping that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any ideas?

    I'm not familiar to the software but I can guess what is happening.
    Too many colors. A GIF is 8 bit (256 colors) but some of them are not used by all software. Windows and Mac's are different.
    Does the software offer a way to reduce the number of colors used? Can you get it down to 8 bit? Can you discard unused colors with some other software?
    Have you considered building an image sequence movie? These allow many different images formats and support up to 32 bit formats (millions of colors).
    QuickTime Pro ($30) can import a series of images as a movie. The file size is much smaller than any video format used today (just the total of the images file size).

  • INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

    Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
    I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
    With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of  many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
    My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
    I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
    Semi-educated guesses:
    That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
    That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
    Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
    Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

    After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
    I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

  • Reports (10.1.2.0.2) developer crashes when I try to import a color palette

    I had enough with this Reports Developer tool. Did not have this problem with 6i version (have been using for years) and do not have problem with changing the color palette with Forms in the 10.1.2.0.2 version. But the :(!@#$%! reports keeps crashing when I try to change (import) a color palette. The only option available is the Export color palette, the Import is always greyed out. This report that I am trying to change the color palette was originally designed with 6i reports tool and I am porting it to iAS format. It is running on Linux. If I start a new report (from scratch) in iDS (reports tool), then I have the paper layouts uses the new canvas of the iDS. But if you try to open up an old report, it shows the old color palette and does not allow importing the proper new color palette. I had no problem with changing the color palette when porting 6i forms to 10gR2 forms. Whe the hell the reports is not working? It supposed to be the same process to import a color palette. I need to port this old reports into new iAS format and this stupid color palette stuff is holding us back.
    Any step by step instructions to import a color palette in Reports, is appreciated. Write it for dummies please - I am tired and need step by step instructions please. I never liked the Reports tool (contrary to Forms) and I hate it now.

  • Custom color palettes

    I'm looking for a way to store custom palettes within DW. I want to store and be able to call up a palette or list of custom colors for various sites. The OS color pickers are useless for this.
    My company has specific hex/rgb values defined in our brand standards. I've created palettes for Photoshop & Illustrator and it's easy to load them and apply them to layers, objects, type, etc. I'd like to be able share them with Dreamweaver. If this isn't possible, then I'd like to create, store and share with other desingers.
    I they can't be imported somehow from Photoshop/Illustrator, I want to be able to create and save them with custom names so I can easily call them up when I'm editing a CSS file. I've been trying to use the Assets panel but that's grayed out in the CSS file. If I use it in HTML it wants to create a new CSS declaration through a dialog which is not useful for me.
    I could use Snippets instead I suppose. I've tried the Kuler extension which is quirky. It's fine for limited palettes of five colors but I need more.
    I feel that either I'm missing something or this is a real gap in the Dreamweaver feature set. Any advice appreciated!

    Thanks Jon. The OS color dialogs are OK for freely picking colors but I want to work with specific palettes and not have to type numbers into a dialog. What I'm doing at my day job is copy/pasting specific hex/rgb values from a brand-standards PDF reference doc. There are over 70 colors/tints so I spend a lot of time round-tripping. For other personal projects it's not so bad.
    It's very frustrating that in 2013 that so many tools offer up the web-safe options by default. The web-safe concept never really worked anyway.
    What I really want is to be able to establish a palette for a project at the outset and have easy access to the color values from within DW. Then, I want to be able to share palettes with other designers in the organiztion, particularly the junior members of my department. This is fairly easy in Photoshop and Illustrator but not apparently in DW.
    It looks like you can associate Snippets to specific sites but each snippet is a separate xml file which is tedious to create. I've used Kuler for some projects but that has its limits.
    The Assets panel looks promising since you can create sets of favorites, nest them in folders, copy them to other sites, etc. I can right-click colors in the panel and go through a dialog which adds new or redundant selectors to the bottom of my CSS file.  The problem is that the panel is disabled whenever I'm in code view so I can't edit an existing selector and simply choose a color from my Assets.
    I really do appreciate all the suggestions. I keep hoping I've overlooked something.  I'll submit this to the wish list and reference this thread.

  • CDE 1.2 Style Manager - Color Palette File Location

    Trying to find out where the Color (palette, modify, custom) files are located so that I may edit or disable some of the colors that won't work well on certain brands of our flat monitors. Our applications are picking up this information and color styling as well, which is making the problem worse - particular with light text colors like white on light backgrounds like aqua, etc (the users are not intelligent enough to just change the palette to something more readable). Thanks for any help you can lend.

    Sorry to cause confusion, I am pretty good at that :)
    Log into Shared Services, Expand Foundation, you will see Calculation Manager, select and expand planning, then you should see the apps and under each application all the Calculation Manager artifacts for that planning application.
    You will need to export the Calc Manager artifacts as well as Planning application ones, they are separate products, it can be done in one go by using tabs and then clicking export.
    If you have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_migrate_planning_app.pdf it should give you a good idea.

  • Set Custom Color Palette as Default

    Does anyone know how to set the a custom default palette? I created a few new colors and exported. Now when I try to import, I browse to the .pal file, however the option check box 'Use Imported Color Palette' is disabled.
    In preferences my color mode is set to Editable. Is there another setting somewhere? I'm trying to set this up so all my developers have access to the colors and they only have to set the pallete up once.
    TIA - Brian

    This has come up before, and I think it is not possible.  The OS always keeps one of its own Latin keyboards active, and unfortunately I have not seen any way that these (located in system/library/keyboard layouts/applekeyboardlayouts.bundle) can be modified by the user.
    PS Another possible source for "PC" layouts for people using that kind of hardware instead of Apple keyboards is the set of Logitech layouts provided when you download Ukelele.

    friend at work about it and he created a dremweaver extension that
    will pull all of your colors from your css ot html fil and display
    them all in one place.
    Another cool feature is the ability to import the colors from
    the web.
    I thought it was a cool extension to share, completely free
    just install it and let us know what you think!

    That *is* interesting. Thanks for explaining what you meant by "color migration".
    According to this Adobe resource, an earlier version of the Color Palette panel (v.1.2) shipped with CS3—which might explain why it reappears after reinstalling the application. (The one you downloaded from fwkit.com was presumably v.1.25.)

    A while back, I sought out an earlier version of this panel for use with FW8, but I was disappointed with the functionality and haven't used it much. It's just conjecture on my part, but I don't think the panel would be causing the "color migration" problem, particularly if it's not active in your workspace. I wonder if it's a color management issue. I'm thinking that Fireworks doesn't deal with color profiles, whereas Illustrator does. If an Illustrator file is saved with an ICC profile and then imported into FW, some translation might occur. Try saving the file without an ICC profile before importing to Fireworks, and see if the results are better. Also, have you experimented with sharing color palettes between the two apps? At the very least, this might be a way to fix those "color migration" problems with a minimum of time loss.
    Also, don't forget FW's Find panel (accessible through Edit>Find...), which allows you to search and replace colors.

  • Color Palette custom color deployment

    Hello,
    I'm using Forms 9.0.4. I created a custom color called 'tooltext' in the default color palette. Then I created a Visual Attribute called TOOLTIP_VA that used 'tooltext' as its background. Finally I set the Visual Attribute for some of my Tooltips to TOOLTIP_VA.
    Now when I run this in Forms Builder the tooltip colors come up OK. I transferred my FMB file to the Linux formserver and compiled it there to FMX. When I run this form it works too. So I was assuming that somehow the RGB for my custom color is encoded in the FMB file. Is that right?
    I acually expected this not to work (I didn't expect the RGB to be stored in the FMB). Curiously enough when I convert the FMB to XML the RGB for 'tooltext' is NOT in the XML file. However the string 'tooltext' is in the XML file. What's up with that? Does the FMB have the actual RGB values for 'tooltext'? If not, how is it getting the color correctly when I deploy to the forms server? I'm not deploying any PAL file, just the FMB.

    Forms .fmb files contain a color pallette. If you create a new form, and put nothing in it, then save it, it will be at least 32k. If you edit it with a generic text editor, you will see lots of sequences of rgb numbers.
    It is pretty strange that Forms stores the color palette -- completely unnecessary, I would think. Seems like they could just store the rgb sequence of your custom color rather than store the whole palette. I wish they would remove the color palette from the fmb, because there are other bugs related to colors caused by the reliance of a color pallette.

  • Defning own color palette for Chart Items

    Hello,
    i have a requirement for several Cockpits, the values of all diagramms of actual year should have a special color, which is not defined in the color palettes Tradeshow, Streamline or Enjoy.
    I don't want to change the color for each chart, i'v already tried the Portal Theme Editor, but i was not able to change color settings for charts.
    Is it possible to create custom color palette which i can choose in the global settings in the chart item dialog?
    Best regards,
    Frank

    1. Go to the following directory on the server side Installation Directory \SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images
    2. Find the file there named as VisualizationConfig.template.xml
    3. Rename this file to VisualizationConfig.xml
    4. Then edit this file and add the color for the palette as you required (RGB colors are used)
    5. Check there are no errors in the config file, otherwise the standard palette is applied – you can define only one Corporate palette, and the palette ID must not be changed
    6. Finally, you need to reboot Tomcat after editing the config file.
