Editing Palette Colors

To change the colors that appear on your palette, follow these steps:

• Select the color to be edited with the mouse. A frame appears around it on the palette.

• Select Edit color from the Palette menu.

  Shortcuts:

  • Double-click on the color to be edited.
    
  • To select a color that you have already used in your art, use Find color on the Tools menu.
  The Edit Color window will appear.

You can change the way you define palette colors by checking Dynamic editing and Important and choosing between RGB and HSV terms.

• Dynamic editing, when checked, will make your art change dynamically as you edit individual colors, so that you can see how the changes will affect your art.

• Important, when checked, will require that the color be accurately rendered, without dithering (approximating the color).

• Every color can be described numerically in either RGB or HSV terms:

  RGB

  As proportions of the primary colors red, blue, and green
  HSV
  In terms of hue, saturation, and value
  To toggle between RGB and HSV, select the appropriate radio button.
  4.
  Use the scroll bars to change RGB or HSV values, or change these numbers from the keyboard.
  5.
  Select OK to save the edited color.
