Using the Color palette
The Color palette contains colors that you can apply to any image in the
edit window. The way colors are displayed in the palette varies according
to your selection in the View: Color palette submenu. You can display
palette colors in one of four methods: Map, Wash, Swatch, and Custom.
Which method you choose depends on the type of color you want as well
as which color picker you are more familiar with. To select a color, click it
with your mouse. The color then replaces the current foreground color. (If
you already know the RGB values of the color you want, you can enter
them directly in the appropriate RGB spin boxes.)
Note: When you run Video Paint for the first time, the Color palette is docked to the
program window in Compact mode and shows the colors of the default method. To
see all methods at the one time, deselect the View: Color Palette - Compact
command. The Color palette is floated and shows each of the methods as tabs in the
panel window. (This command can also be performed by holding down the [ ] key
CTRL
and right-clicking the Color Palette.)
