Preserved Topic: editing photoshop swatches?

i have always wanted to create a color swatch palette with just 5 colors in it. ive tried creating one through indexed color options, and picking my 5 colors. it does it fine... except for the 40 extra swatches that are all black.

theres also no way to delete swatches in photoshop. you can in illustrator :-(

Was that a question or just a complaint about photoshop? Im at my gf's house so I dont have Photoshop on this computer and Ive never really made my own swatches before so Im not all that sure on whether you can delete the rest of the colors not being used but when I go home Ill check it out okie? <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Sorry I was no help,

holding down the ctrl key and clicking on a swatch turns your cursor into a pair of scissors and deletes the swatch in photoshop 5.5.




Never insult someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes... that way, if they don't like it, you're at least a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Just hold down CTRL; the cursor will turn into scissors. Then, you can click the swatches you want to delete.

I created a swatch pallette with no colors at all and saved it as Blank.ACO. That way, when I want to create a new set of swatches, I load the blank one first and start from there. There should just be a way to delete all the swatches at once, but there doesn't seem to be.

On another note, I'm feeling kind of dizzy this morning... Hope I'm not pregnant.

Hey, no cuts, Tycho! I hate when that happens...

*elbows wes out of the way*
