Editing colors in a palette
You can change a color in the current palette by editing it in the Optimize panel color table. Editing a color replaces
all instances of that color in the image to be exported or to be saved as a bitmap. Editing does not replace the color
in the original image, unless you are working with a bitmap and save the image as such; in this case, you should also
save the image as a PNG file to retain an editable version of the original image.
To edit a color:
Do one of the following to open the system color picker:
1
•
Select a color and click the Edit Color button at the bottom of the Optimize panel.
• Double-click a color in the color table.
Change the color using the system color picker.
2
The new color replaces every instance of the replaced color in the preview area.
