Plugin for a sort of color palette

Hello everybody,
is there a plugin or a feature in Photoshop CS6 I haven't discovered yet that offers me a sort of color palette that looks like the 'Color' feature in the 'Window' menu in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014? The palette offered by the plugin should deliver the colors contained in the currently opened picture.
In Gimp e.g. there's a feature in the colors menu that delivers a gradient of all the colors contained in the image.
Thank you very much.

the only way I know how to do it is:
1. convert your image to indexed color. (Image/Mode/Indexed Color...) .. hit ok if it asks you to flatten all layers, then hit ok again. By default this will break your image down into 256 colors.
2. go to Image/Mode/Color Table... and in the pop-up window, click 'save...' and then just type in a new name for the file it is asking you to save. Do not type an extension after your filename. And remember where you're saving the file. Now you're back to the previous pop-up window (the color table window)- just hit ok to get out of it
3. in your swatches panel, choose 'replace swatches' - if it asks you to save your current swatches, you can do so before proceeding. Then, browse to the folder where you saved the file. At the bottom of the "load" window where it says "Files of Type:" at the bottom, it says "Swatches (*ACO) by default. Click on that, and it drops another menu down, Select "COLOR TABLE (*ACT) instead. Now, the file you saved will show up. Click on that file to load it into your swatches.
4. hit "step back" or undo a few times until you get your image back into RGB mode (or whatever mode you were in before Indexed mode).
And now your swatches panel will contain every color in your image as a swatch, up to 256 colors. This won't work for millions of colors because obviously how could you have a swatch panel with 16 million colors..
this is a painful, long workaround... but it does what I think you're asking for. Maybe you can find a way to automate it via scripting or something

  • HSB color plugin for InDesign?

    I know it exists because I had it on an older computer; a plugin for using the HSB color space. Right now we only have CMYK, RGB and LAB. HSB is better for controlling the properties of colors individually and I could really use it.
    Any clues as to where I can find something like that?

    I installed it and yes, it works great! basically you choose "New HEX swatch" from the swatches pallette and a box comes up where you can input the hex number or BETTER YET, click on that curious button that reads "Current Photoshop Foreground Color":
    Although still no HSB, this will work for matching colors from Photoshop. Thanks!
    (I'll still look for that plugin and report back when I find it.)

  • Color Palette Problems on Kuler

    So for some reason the color palettes won't download on kuler for me, every time i try and get a color scheme a shockwave flash somehow crashed. How do i fix this problem?

    Hi perki13km,
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties. What version of Kuler are you using? (there are a couple different ones, for example, the webpage, the Android app, or the panel in a suite product). Based on your reference to shockwave flash, if its the webpage version, I would try either updating or testing in an alternate browser. I know some older versions of Firefox for example don't work well with the webpage version.
    Hope that helps

    for some reason my color palette is blank.  I tried switching between RGB, lab and CMYK, but nothing shows up.  See screen shot.  What am i doing wrong, does anyone know how to fix this?

    You have something else seriously wrong, by the sound of things. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4199358#4199358 for some instructions on getting a hang report and converting the hang into a crash (and getting that report as well) that you can post on Pastebin.com, and maybe we can see what's wrong.

  • Color grading plugin for FCP?

    I experience more and more problems with the Send to Shake function as time goes (FCP updates, Shake does not). Is there a good quality color correct plugin for FCP? More advanced than the standard 3-way color corrector..

    Just exactly what is it you're wanting to accomplish? FCP has an amazing variety of color tools contained within it's tool set, although not nearly as surgical as Shake.
    Colorista II ain't worth the money to me as it's really no different than the 3Way with the exception that you can make power windows without layering. Boris also has some sort of new 3Way corrector that if I were to buy a plug, I'd most likely get over Colorista II.

  • Custom Color Palette for Charts

    Hi all,
    Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
    I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
    Thank you and kind regards

  • Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS

    Is there a way of creating a custom color palette for charts (as you can do it in WebIntelligence) and install it on the tomcat?
    Or will I have to set my custom colors in the css? And if so: where can I find a description of classes for Charts? Is there any description of css classes at all? All I could find was a list of classes for a crosstab (but no description).
    Thank you

  • How do you display a color palette for InDesign

    I would like to have a similar color palette displayed that is used in PhotoShop for my InDesign work.  Right now when
    clicking on a swatch color it brings up the rgb or cmyk sliders, but I would like to have the full color spectrum available
    to select from as in PhotoShop

    You can acess the color picker by double clicking the strok or fill proxies in the tool box or color panel rather than the swatch, but Keep in mind that this is an RGB colorspace tool, and the potential for doing great harm to spot colors or CMYK mixes is tremendous if you exit with the wrong set of values highlighted, so I generally recommend giving it a wide berth.

  • What is the top right button in the color palette used for

    I've seen several tutorials on different mac apps and when they refer to the color palette I see a oval shape button in the top right corner. Maybe that was in 10.5 or latter but I'm using Lion and there is no oval button in my color palette. I see this in Pages, Pixelmator and Keynote but no oval button showing.
    Thanks in advace

    I've found over the past day that its presence comes and goes, presumably based on background apps.
    As I'm unable to predict when I'll catch it next time, it's best I close this question and I'll reopen a new question when I can provide a screenshot.
    Many thanks for your response, and I'll watch for its reappearance.

  • Color Correction plugin for Premiere Pro CS3....

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a plugin for color correction in Premier Pro CS3.
    I checked out the Color Correction tools that ship with Premiere (which are nice) and I checked out Synthetic Aperture's Color Finesse 2 (which is great as well).
    Are there any other recommendations ? ;)
    Thanx for your help in advance !

  • 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.

  • Getting the correct color palette for mobile phones

    Can someone help me getting the correct colors for the phones? I know there is 256 and occationally 4096 colors, but which are the valid ones?. I keep getting colors melting together since i am using the wrong palette, is it the "webb-safe" colors that are also in the phones? If anyone could please enlighten me I would be really happy, since otherwise I have to write a program that displays them in the emulator and then manually check the hex values to get the correct ones.
    Thanks..
    /Fnutten

    Thanks for the answer, I have downloaded nokias emulators instead to view the colors ( 24bit ). If I someday compile for phones with lower colors I have to take care of it then instead.

  • Dynamic shape colors: color palette?

    I am having a hard time finding guidance for this and am hoping someone can point me to the right guidance.
    I have a number of visio files, all of them visual representations of workflows.  I have color-coded each, but if I want to change colors systematically (ie: hey, I want all of those things that are coded blue to be coded red instead) I currently would
    have to go to each file and re-color all of the shapes.  Obviously a poor solution.
    Is there a way to define a color palette, tell visio to use that palette for various shapes, then allow for dynamic changes to that palette that would be reflected in the visio shapes?
    I have explored Data Graphics and assigning color by shape value, but those colors are hard-wired.
    Thanks for any ideas!
