Customizing a palette with the Colorama effect


    You can customize any palette by altering the colors and locations of the triangles around the Output Cycle control of the Colorama effect, using any of the following procedures.

To add a triangle:

    Click in or near the color wheel, and select a color from the color picker.

To duplicate a triangle:

    Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS), and drag the triangle to the new position.

To change the color of a triangle:

    Do any of the following:

    • Double-click a triangle, and select a color from the color picker.
    • To make a triangle ignore its original color and instead "sample" the color of its new location on the color wheel, click the triangle and then press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS). To avoid deleting the original color, you may want to duplicate the triangle first.
    • To change the opacity, select a triangle on the color wheel and then drag the attached triangle above the opacity slider. Make sure that Modify Alpha is selected if you want the opacity information to affect your output.

To change where the color of a specific triangle appears on the color wheel:

    Do any of the following:

    • Drag a triangle.
    • Press Shift as you drag to snap the triangles to the 45-degree increments around the wheel.

    Note: To snap a triangle to the start or end point of the color wheel, press Shift and move the pointer slightly to the right (start point) or left (end point) of the top of the wheel.

To delete a triangle:

    Drag it away from the color wheel.
