for Painter 6 (Painter 5/5.5 translations included)
To create a custom Color Set
in Painter 6, or in Painter 5 and 5.5, use these steps:
| 1. Open
an existing image, if you want to create your custom Color Set picking
colors from that image to use in another image, or start with a new Canvas
and create your custom Color Set as you work. |
.
| 2.
In
the Art Materials palette's Color Set section (in Painter 5
and 5.5, in the Art Materials palette's Color section menu,
choose Adjust Colors), click the Lock icon to open it, then
click the New Set button.
NOTE:
You'll should see an empty Color Set appear.
It may be hidden below your other
palettes, so use Ctrl/Command+6 twice; once to to close it, the
second time to open it and bring it to the front. Then move it to a place
on your screen where it won't be hidden again. |
|
| 3.
Using
the Eyedropper tool, click a color in your image that you want to
add to your custom Color Set. |

| 4.
Click
the Add Color button. |
|
| 5. Choose
another color, then click the Add Color button again. Continue to
add colors until you've created your complete custom Color Set. |
 |
| 6.
To
save your custom Color Set, click the Library button. You'll
be asked "Do you want to save the changes you've made to the current
color set?".
7. Click
the Yes button and give the custom Color Set a unique name
not already used by Painter, and one that will make sense to you
later.
NOTE: Color
Sets are saved as
text
files.
8.
To load another custom Color Set, or reload the default Painter
Color Set or one from the Painter CD, click the Library
button.
NOTE:
To learn more about using the Color Set section, read the Painter
6 User Guide (the Painter 5 or 5.5 User Guides). |
