In the palette editor you can edit palettes, create new palettes, import
|
|
palettes, merge and delete palettes. You also have a option to refresh palettes.
|
|
You have to use this option to make palettes installed after you started
|
|
Gimp available and ready for use.

<EM>Edit Palette:</EM>
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Either you can choose the palette to edit in the palette select dialog or
|
|
you activate it in the palette editor with a single left clicking on it.
|
|
The palette that you are about to edit will now appear in the edit area.
|
|
If the palette has a large amount of colors then each color cell in the palette
|
|
can be rather small. To be able to view and edit the palette you can therefore
|
|
zoom in and out with the zoom buttons.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
To change the name of a color cell you first mark it by left clicking on
|
|
it. The Name field next to the zoom buttons will be activated and you can
|
|
change the name.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
The edit menu will appear if you right click in the edit frame. Choose to
|
|
edit and the standard Gimp Color selector will appear and you will be able
|
|
to change to color in the color cell that you right-clicked in. New will
|
|
add a color at the end of the palette. The new color cell will inherit the
|
|
color of the cell that you brought up the menu in. To alter the newly created
|
|
cell you have to right-click in it and choose edit. Delete in the right click
|
|
pop up menu will delete the color cell from which you brought up the menu
|
|
in (you will not get a confirmation window).<BR>
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<EM>New Palette:</EM>
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Will create a new empty palette in the edit frame, a confirmation window
|
|
with where you <A HREF="new_palette.html">name</A> the new palette will appear.
|
|
When you have created your new palette, you have to insert color cells. You
|
|
do that by right-clicking anywhere in the edit area and choose new from the
|
|
popup menu.<BR>
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<EM>Delete Palette:</EM>
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Will delete your palette. NOTE: It will delete the palette without the presence
|
|
of confirmation dialog. Remember it's a UNIX program from the beginning i.e
|
|
you are supposed to know what you are doing.<BR>
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<EM>Import Palette:</EM>
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Will bring up the <A HREF="import_palette.html">Import</A> dialog where you
|
|
can create a new platte from a gradient, image or indexed palette.
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<DT>
|
|
<EM>Merge Palette:</EM>
|
|
<DD>
|
|
You are able to merge palettes in the editor, the new palette is a combination
|
|
of the selected palettes. To merge two or several palettes you have to mark
|
|
the palettes that you want to merge and click on Merge which will bring up
|
|
the <A HREF="merge_palette.html">Name</A> dialog. There are two ways to mark
|
|
palettes either you <Modkey> click, you will then mark a single palette
|
|
each time (or unmark). You can also <Modkey> click which will mark
|
|
all palettes from the first marked to the last marked palette.
