The Table pop-up menu lets you choose among preset color tables: •   Black Body is a range of sunset-like colors. •   Grayscale is a ramp from pure black to pure white. •   Macintosh System is the palette of colors supported by the Mac OS. •   Spectrum is a set of rainbow colors. •   Web Browser is a set of 216 colors that can be displayed without dithering by nearly all Web browsers operating on Mac OS or Windows. This option is also referred to as a “browser safe” palette. •   Windows System is the palette of colors supported by Win- dows. You can also create a custom color table. To do this, refer to the sec- tions “To customize individual colors” on page 31.627, and “To cus- tomize a color table by blending colors” on page 31.627. Saving and loading color tables By using the Load and Save options in the Color Table dialog box, you can save color tables to your hard disk, or load a saved color table file into the Color Table dialog box. To load a custom color table 1 Click Load in the Color Table dialog box. A directory dialog box appears (Mac), or a Load Settings dialog box appears (Win- dows). 2 In the directory dialog box, locate the color table file you want to load, and then click Open. Canvas replaces the current palette in the Color Table dialog box with the new palette, and its name appears in the Table pop-up menu. To save a custom color table 1 Click Save in the Color Table dialog box. A directory dialog box appears (Mac), or a Save Settings dialog box appears (Win- dows). 2 Type a name for the table in the “Save color table in” box (Mac), or the “File name” box (Windows). Before you type the file name, Canvas adds the extension “.ACT” in the text box. It’s rec- ommended that you keep this extension when naming the file. Tip Save your custom color tables in a central location on the cor- porate network and share them with co-workers.
