Photoshop :: Sharing Swatches
May 27, 2008
I'm trying to share the Skintones swatch from Illustrator to Photoshop. I selected it, saved it for exchange to the desktop and hit the Load Swatches button on the swatches palette in Photoshop. I get the little spinning Vista thing but that's it. Photoshop looks for .aco and, of course, the swatches are saved as .ase. Changing the file format to include .ase doesn't seem to do anything and the swatches don't show up in the list of libraries.
Is it possible that the skintones swatch is one of the many that CS2 won't share?

Using Mavericks on my Mac I saved a swatch in the default folder in Photoshop CC as a .ASE file. The default folder path is: Users>myusername>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CC>Presets>Color Swatches.
When I tried to load the swatch in Illustrator using 'Load> Other library' in the swatches panel I find that the Users>Library folder is hidden meaning I can't drill down. Obviously I could save my swatch in a more accessible place but am I wrong in expecting the default folder to not be hidden?
I can navigate to the Library folder at Finder level via the Go menu by holding the option key but I'm unable to do this in the Illustrator dialogue.
So my question is this: In order to share swatches between CC apps do I either have to save them in a folder I define or is there a way of accessing the hidden User>Library folder within a Load Library dialogue?

I am proficient in Illustrator, but this has been one of a few enigmas. Every once and a while in a file, I have noticed that after deleting a color that is definitely not in use(ie there are no strokes, fills, stray paths etc) using these colors. I have made sure of it. I will delete the color from the swatches and as a final pass I like to add used colors and sure enough that color will come back. I tried making sure it's not checked global, didn't work, some I don't even think are global colors, and in fact they are generally CMYK. I often notice that Black and C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 don't like to delete from the swatches among some other colors when you delete unused swatches. I thought perhaps they were in guides or something but it's truly unexplainable, and generally with a fresh file if all colors are deleted it'll still leave black white and gray.
Or ways to troubleshoot better other than creating a debug file and deleting lines of code as recommended in the older forums?

My colour swatches disappeared although I clicked on "show all swatches". What do I have to do to appear regularly when opening Illustrator?

Im in the process of converting a logo to spot colors. When I open the swatches panel and choose any one of the pantone books, the panel opens to what you see below. This same thing happens with all color books except for the basic illustrator books.

my problem is the color gray. the swatches that fade from white to black have a red tint to them. I tryed the color setting, to see if i can take the red tint out but it doesn't work.
my color setting is set to north america General purpose which is the defult i believe.
The color picker doesn't have gray in this setting. I do get gray when i change the setting' but no change in the grays in the swatches.

I am trying to use PS as an aid to painting.
I have a swatch of artists oil colours. I do not fully understand swatches.
Is it possible to :-
1. Automatically change the colours of a picture to match those in the swatch?
2. To make filters use only the colours in the swatch?

Is there a way of organizing the colours in a swatch to something other than the default.
You can delete, or add, but you can't drag them to new positions to arrange.
I'm creating some swatches of my own, but the order of the colours is not to my liking. Just can't figure out if they can be organised by Hue, Brightness etc, or moved around individually.

I've got about 250 swatches in the swatches palette that i have sampled from different images, the problem is that they aren't organised in anyway, Is there anyway that i can organise them by hue, saturation or brightness, without having to do it manually from the preset manager.

is it possible to re-order the swatches you save off? i've been saving odd swatches for ages, and as a result they're all over the place when you look at them in F6. it's not vital, but i'd kinda like to rearrange them so they're all grouped a little more sensibly : short of making a sample of each on a blank doc, deleteing them all then sampling/saving them all again in order, is it possible to edit the swatches?

I did the search and found a few posts that explained a few methods for this but the results were not exactly what I was looking for. Is it or isn't it possible to create a blank swatches table - add "only" the colors you want and be able to load that palette again as needed?
I saw a few posts that say to use the images>mode>index color route - then save as a color table. But... when you load from the swatches dialog it adds the colors from the table to the existing swatches... What I would like is have separate swatches palettes containing only the colors I saved - this would be for project work.

I know about to make sure just one or the other is the default email client but it won't work. I could most definately have missed some setting that needs changed but don't know which one apparently. I get the message when trying to send a photo email, "Elements 11 organizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working, windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".

I have a desktop (Windows 7) and a laptop (windows 8), both are running Elements 8. I plan to share photos and catalog between them with no duplication of data.
An external harddrive was attached to the desktop, photos were downloaded, a catalog was created, photos were imported - all worked fine.
I detached the ext drive from the desktop and attached it to the laptop with the same drive letter as used on the desktop. The custom location of the catalog was set to point to the catalog on the ext drive. When I tried to open this catalog, I got the message: "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated" I moved the ext drive back to the desktop and it worked OK, as before.
I then set up a working version of elements on the laptop by:
1. Backing up the catalog on the desktop and restoring it to the laptop.
2. Copying the photos from the desktop to the laptop.
3. Reconnecting the photos to the catalog.
Adobe then worked fine on the laptop using the restored catalog.
But, this is not what I want to do. I want to have ONE catalog and ONE set of photos on an ext drive which can be plugged into either computer.

Whilst trying to fix another problem by clearing the online service data, the option to post content onto Facebook , You Tube etc via the Share button has disappeared. How do I restore this functionality? I have tried restoring default settings and uninstalling and re-installing without success.

I noticed it is allowed to install Photoshop Elements on 2 PCs, using just one licence ; of course not using it on both PC at the same time.If I build Albums on PC 1, how do I access the Albums on PC 2.Both PCs are on a unique ethernet network, with shared HDD.

Just returned to PSE after a gap of several versions.I MacBook Pro, two users (both admins) and several cameras. I want one (and only one, at present) catalog that can be accessed by both users of the MacBook so that each user has access to all of the pix
I Installed Elements and added a few photo's to a folder in the root of the hdd, and tinkered a little. Discovered that the auto-created catalog was buried in the user/username path, not appropriate for multiple users, I thought.
So backed up catalog to external drive, then restored it to the folder that I'd previously added the photos to, viz HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog. This works absolutely fine for me, as I set it up.
When the other user starts Elements and goes Catalog Managent and browse to Other Locations: HD/ALL PHOTOS/ and is able to select 'My Catalog' and Open. She then gets the message "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt or the version is out of date"
Both usaers have R&W permissions. Both users are definately pointing at HD/ALL PHOTOS/My Catalog.

I have been trying to share some photographs to my Flickr account but have ran into problems. When I select the pictures and click on share to Flickr, none of my pictures appear in the share box to upload. I have tried this multiple ways, with sharing and then selecting the pictures and also by selecting and then sharing to no avail. I currently have a 30 day trial and am not certain if that is the reason why it is not working? I want to make sure that this feature works before I actually buy the program as I am in the process of scanning, editing and uploading 1000s of old photographs for family members. I have the Elements 12 and am using Windows 7.

When using Windows Live Mail (Windows 8.1) to share a photo, PSE 12 will not send it as an attachment. It will send it as photo mail. We need to be able to do both.
The message I receive is "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your e-mail message."

Where is the default color swatches file located for Photoshop CS6? I'm tired of constantly deleting dozens of useless swatches; I want Photoshop to start with a blank Swatches palette every time.
