I am having trouble with the Color Table in Photoshop. Basically I have an indexed PNG-8 file with 8 colors, and I want to export it's palette to a .ACT or .PAL file.
But when I go to "Save..." in Image/Mode/Color Table, Photoshop seems to be filling up the rest of the palette all the way to 256 colors, with shades of gray... instead of ONLY the 8 colors I have in my PNG (including transparency).
I designed a UI for a small screen device. The assets need to be exported now, with 256Â and also 1024 indexed colours.I have never heard about 1024 color pallete. How can I do it?

I want to save the 16 colors in this pic to a palette for later, but how? I've been looking in vain through the menus for a way to save this color map as a palette. Maybe there's a script or plugin somewhere, but it is hard for me to believe there isn't a built-in way to do this.
I have a handful of palettes that are divided into groups. I need to share these with other people.
At first, I exported the main palette group, with its subgroups, into an xpg file. Of course, I didn't yet know that it didn't retain the palettes at that time.
Then I exported the palettes themselves (maybe 20 in all).
My understanding is that if I import the palettes manually, then import the palette group, the palette group will be populated automatically. That isn't happening.
What is happening: The palette groups are there, and the palettes are there (in the palette list, and they automatically added themselves into the (old) current palette group. If I set the current group as the imported palette group, it adds the imported palettes to that group, but not into the sub groups.
With all of that said, is there a way to import multiple palettes at one time, via lisp or something else that I don't know about. Is there a way to have those palettes appear in their appropriate places on the palette group?
From what I've read about the problem, the palette group is stored in a customization file, and that's why it isn't transferring the palettes into the group. I'm not sure if this is true, or if I misread something, hence my questions to the group.
The color swatches in the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS4 do not change to the used swatches for the indexed image, rather they show the default colors for Photoshop. I looked to see if there was a setting to show the colors in use, but alas there is none. Is this a feature or a bug?

View 8 Replies View Relatedwhy the size on disk of uncompressed indexed color images is always slightly larger than you expect it to be? For example, a 100x100 pixel image, 4 bit indexed image with a 2 color palette: the file size should be 5,000 bytes (4 bits for each of 10,000 pixels) plus 6 extra for the two colors in the CLUT - i.e. 5006 bytes. Yet the actual size is 5,268 - not a figure that squares with any size of palette! Ditto a 200x200 image, 8 bit colour: 40,000 bytes. Plus a full 256 colour CLUT at 3 bytes each, an extra 768. total size 40,768. on disk it is 41,080 bytes - an extra 112 bytes.
This is on a PC - not a Mac 'resource fork' issue. Is there some additional header info that Photoshop attaches to indexed color images -
I was quite surprised this image I found was an indexed color profile... when I was new (and dumb) to Gimp and images in general I used to save transparent gifs rather than transparent pngs... because I didn't know PNGs could be transparent but Gimp would warn me about that it would convert to indexed and I'd lose A LOT of color & clarity... none of my indexed images were very clear nor this colorful... how is it possible to obtain such color and clarity in an indexed color profile like in the image attached?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been having a problem with Gimp. I am currently working on a Gif banner for a webpage. The banner itself is 728x90 pixels. It has 186 different layes as well, some of which are inside of folders. The xcf itself is complete, but the only other stage I need to complete is converting it to Indexed colors so I can export it as a gif; however, whenever i access the Image>Mode tab, the "Indexed" button isn't highlighted, and I am unable to click on it, even with the keyboard commands. I haven't been able to find a solution so far. Here's a picture of the problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a new palette in gimp using my original RGB image (containing shades of yellow and black) which gave me about ~200 colors (with interval=2 in Import dialog). Then I changed the mode from RGB to Indexed using the palette I created above, but the resulting image contains only 2 colors - black and yellow. All the dark-greys, light-greys and different yellows are absent.
I want my indexed image to resemble the RGB as much as possible but the result looks disastrous.

i just started using gimp on ubuntu 13.10 . almost half of the menu items are greyed out. most of the filters work or ar not greyed out, g'mic is greyed out and so is most of the stuff in the file menu (export, save, save as, etc.) . i already tried re-installing gimp from the software center with no prevail. this is how it was the first time i installed it on this new ubuntu 13.10 .
is there something that i can do to maybe refresh the entire gimp folder maybe? maybe delete it then re-install gimp. i really dont know if this would fix anything though.
this is really irritating. and no its not the "image RGB/indexed mode" problem.
im pretty sure i dont have anything installed (like some weird ubuntu restricted access fake file) that could interfere with the interface at all as this is a pretty fresh installation. the most i have installed that might even be close to interfering with the interface is "pipelight" which is for flash and silverlight, not gimp.
i even tried different color profiles and none of them work. i even downloaded the brand new color profiles from adobe. none of those work either.
the only way i got ALL of the menu options back, including g'mic, was opening gimp through raw therapee (basically adobe lightroom for ubuntu) which might be of some use in finding an answer to this?
i already have everything i need installed including the ubuntu restricted access extras and such.i just would like gimp to open normally with all the normal file menu options enabled like everyone elses and not be all greyed out ..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've only ever used gimp sparingly and for simple stuff. I now need to set the palette of a 8-bit png to a specified palette, but I can't find any in gimp or online about how to load a palette. I need the palette to contain colors that may not be in the image if thats possible as these images are sprites of under 40 colors, but I need a full 256 color palette. Also is there any simple way to convert a string of numbers into a gimp palette? If not Ill probably just look at how they are saved and just write a simple script, but I thought i would ask.

how I change the width of palettes in Photoshop. By unknown reasons it's not possible for me to change the width of any palettes in PS CS3 (i.e color- and layer palettes etc). Is this normal, a new version feature perhaps? :-)
For instance, my action palette has a width of two columns, and I can't change it to a single column. This seems a little bit weird to me - all the extra space my new widescreen monitor give me are now reduced by extra wide palettes in Photoshop! :-/
All the tools are missing from the Tool Palette.
The blue bar however, is visible.

how to use Photoshop CS3 for Macs, which had a history palate on the right side of the screen. It was way easy to undo and redo steps and it was super convenient to have. I recently downloaded Photoshop CS4 for my Windows laptop, and it doesn't have a history palate on the screen! It's been driving me crazy because I used it all the time on CS3.Does anyone know if CS4 for Windows has a history palate, and if so, how to get it onto my main screen?

I am unable to use the Search in Photoshop Help. This has not been a problem in the past. I did however recently load SP2 but really don't remember if this feature worked following that download.
Also, while doing a tutorial one of the steps indicated that the channel visiblity should be turned on and used. When I went to the channels palette this was not available. I have Photoshop 6 and it's quite possible that this feature came later. Is there anyway of changing the visiblity of an individual channel.
I am trying to work on a collage and when I open my pictures they are not opening as individual layers in the layer palette as all my materials say they should.
