Using Adobe Color Lava

Adobe Color Lava for Photoshop lets you create themed color swatches on the iPad. When Adobe Color Lava is

connected to Photoshop, you can set Adobe

Color Lava swatches as the foreground color. You can also add

Adobe

Color Lava colors to the Photoshop Swatches panel as you work. Or, you can e-mail Adobe Color Lava themes

as swatch libraries to share them with other people on other computers.

Important: Adobe Color Lava is available in English, French, German, and Japanese. Other language versions of

Photoshop can connect to Adobe

Color Lava, but only in those languages. Adobe Color Lava requires Photoshop 12.0.4

or later. To download the latest version of Photoshop, choose Help
