Changing the display of the color table


    You can sort colors in the color table by hue, luminance, or popularity, making it easier to see an image's color range and locate particular colors. In ImageReady, you can also change the size of the color swatches in the color table.

To sort a color table:

    Choose a sorting order from the Color Table palette menu:

    • Unsorted. Restores the original sorting order.
    • Sort By Hue, or by the location of the color on the standard color wheel (expressed as a degree between 0 to 360). Neutral colors are assigned a hue of 0, and located with the reds.
    • Sort By Luminance, or by the lightness or brightness of a color.
    • Sort By Popularity, or by the colors' frequency of occurrence in the image.

To change the size of the color swatches (ImageReady):

    Choose Small Swatches or Large Swatches from the Color Table palette menu.
