I've just started playing around with swatches in PhotoShop and am finding them rather cludgey. Surely there must be a better way of creating a new swatch pallet than taking an existing pallet and deleting (one by one) all the swatches in it!
How do you manage swatches - what advice can you give me?
I seem to recall that years ago I had a beta version of something called UltraPaint and it had a fabulous swatch feature - when created a new document, a new swatch pallet was created. Then when you used a color in your document, that color was added to your blank swatch pallet. The blank pallet (which now contained all the colors in your picture) would be saved with the document so you always had those swatches available. You could even copy the swatches from one picture to another.
Why doesn't PhotoShop have a simple way to create/handle swatches or am I missing something?
I got interested in this because I wanted to make a swatch pallet with all the skintones on it and couldn't find a way to do it.
Thanks for your responses,
Margaret
