1 On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose New Empty
Color Set.
2 On the Colors palette, choose a color.
3 On the Color Sets palette, click the Add Color to Color Set button .
For information about adding colors to a color set, see “Editing Color Sets” on
page 96.
For more information about selecting colors, see “Using the Colors Palette” on
page 78.
To create a color set from an image, selection, or layer, or the Mixer palette
• On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow or the Library Access
button , and choose one of the following:
• New Color Set from Image is available only if you have an image open. A color
set appears, containing all the colors in the image.
• New Color Set from Layer is available only if an active layer is selected in your
image. A color set appears, containing all the colors in the active layer.
• New Color Set from Selection is active only if you have an active selection on
your image. A color set appears, containing all the colors in the selected area of
the image.
• New Color Set from Mixer creates a color set, containing all the colors used in
the Mixer palette.
When working on Web pages, you can reduce the number of colors used in an
image (and reduce the subsequent image size) by creating a color set and
using only colors in that set.
Editing Color Sets
You can customize color sets by adding, deleting, or replacing colors. You can also
append colors to a color set. This is useful if you want to use colors from multiple color
sets. In addition, you can name or rename individual colors in a color set.
