To sort a color table
Choose a sorting order from the Color Table palette menu:
• Unsorted restores the original sorting order.
• Sort By Hue sorts by the location of the color on the standard color wheel (expressed as a degree from 0 to 360).
Neutral colors are assigned a hue of 0 and located with the reds.
• Sort By Luminance sorts by the lightness or brightness of a color.
• Sort By Popularity sorts by the colors’ frequency of occurrence in the image.
To change the size of the color swatches (ImageReady)
❖ Choose Small Swatches or Large Swatches from the Color Table palette menu.
To add a new color to the color table
You can add colors that were left out in building the color table. Adding a color to a dynamic table shifts the color in
the palette closest to the new color. Adding a color to a fixed or Custom table adds an additional color to the palette.
1 Deselect all colors in the color table. See “To select colors in the color table” on page 640.
2 Choose a color by doing one of the following:
• Click the color selection box in the Save For Web dialog box (Photoshop) or the toolbox (ImageReady), and
choose a color from the color picker.
• Select the Eyedropper tool in the Save For Web dialog box (Photoshop) or the toolbox (ImageReady) and click in
the image.
• Select the Eyedropper tool in the toolbox, click in the image, hold the mouse down, and drag anywhere on the
desktop. You can use this option to select a color displayed in another application, such as a color in a web page
displayed in a browser.
• (ImageReady) Select a color from the Color palette or the Swatches palette.
3 Do one of the following:
• Click the New Color button in the Color Table palette.
• Select New Color from the Color Table palette menu.
• (ImageReady) Drag the color from the color selection box, Color palette, or Swatches palette to the Color Table
palette.
To switch the color table to a Custom palette, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) when you add the
new color.
The new color appears in the color table with a small white square in the lower right corner, indicating that the color
is locked. (See “To lock a color” on page 641.) If the color table is dynamic, the original color is displayed in the upper
left and the new color is displayed in the lower right.
