The photo is now reduced to the number of colors chosen - 20 in this example. When you’re happy with the colors, click the OK button.ģ. Here you’re trying to extract the ‘appropriate’ number of colors for your palette - you’re not trying to edit your photo. Make sure the preview box is checked, and then play around with changing the number of colors. In the Palette drop-down, select Local (Adaptive). This opens the Indexed Color menu, shown here. (This is a good spot to remind you to always make a backup copy before modifying your photos.)Ģ. If your image has more than one layer, Photoshop will ask to flatten the image–click OK. With the image open in Photoshop Elements (or Photoshop), choose the following from the menu: Image –> Mode –> Indexed Color. I used this photo to create a small quilt for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt initiative, which you can see here.ġ. I’ll start with this photo that I took of Delicate Arch in Utah.
#TELL PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE COLOR PALETTE FROM IMAGE HOW TO#
This post compliments a couple of my previous posts where I talked about how to color-reduce a photo in Photoshop Elements, and then how to generate a Color Table from the color-reduced photo and use the color table to create coordinating designs. You can then use the color palette to create your own designs. In this post, I’ll show how to quickly create a color palette (called a color table in Photoshop) from a photo. The inspiration for a color palette can come from anywhere, and I find that photos are often a great source of color palettes. Sometimes when creating a design (fabric or otherwise) it’s helpful to work with a fixed palette of colors.
