To create a color palette file, follow these steps:
- Select a vector or a bitmap object that contains the colors you want in your palette.
- Click Window > Color Palettes > Create Palette From Selection. This opens a dialog box where you can name and save your palette.
- Enter a filename in the File name box. Choose a descriptive name that will help you remember the palette's contents.
- Click Save. This saves the color palette as a file (typically with a
.cpl
,.aco
, or similar extension depending on the software used) that you can then load and use in your design software.
This process essentially extracts the colors from the selected object(s) and packages them into a reusable color palette file. Keep in mind that the exact steps and menu options may vary slightly depending on the specific graphics software you are using (e.g., CorelDRAW, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator).
