Adjusting colors in traced results
When the source bitmap is traced, the application generates a color palette for the traced result. The color palette uses the color mode of
the source bitmap (for example, RGB or CMYK). The number of colors on the color palette is determined by the number of colors in the
source bitmap and the selected preset style.
You can change the color mode of the traced result, and you can reduce the number of colors in the traced result.

Sorting colors
To edit the color palette more easily, you can sort colors by similarity or frequency. Sorting by similarity arranges the colors based on their
hue and lightness. Colors of similar hue and lightness appear close to each other on the color palette. Sorting by frequency arranges the
colors based on how much they are used in the traced results. The colors that are used most appear at the top of the color palette.
