Managing the Image Palette

For eight-bit images (256 colors or shades of gray), you can use the Palette Manager to change, condense, or combine colors, assign background transparency, or convert grayscale images to paletted color images. You can also use it to analyze the image palette and display it in different ways, such as by color frequency or luminance. Apply standards by importing and exporting palettes.

The Palette Manager displays the image palette in two ways:

  • The color table displays the palette as an array of color buttons. Pausing the cursor over a color button displays data for that entry. Click a single color to select it, or select multiple colors for tasks such as combining colors.
  • The list view provides numeric data for each entry in the palette, such as RGB color values, frequency, and background transparency.
