Converting Grayscale Images to Paletted Images

The Palette Manager can convert a grayscale image to a paletted image by

creating an indexed palette of gray values.

One reason for doing this would be to apply spot color to a grayscale image

that uses a small range of gray values. After you convert the image to a paletted

image, you can change a particular gray value to a color.

NOTE If you make no changes, the image is restored to grayscale when you exit

the Palette Manager.

The Palette Manager (page 348) dialog box is displayed.

2 Click the Convert to Color button.

3 Make any desired changes to the palette.
