Xara Webster - Importing Colors and Palettes

 Xara Webster can import the following color table and palette files :

CorelDRAW Palette.CPL and .PAL
Adobe Color Tables.ACT
Adobe Color Swatches.ACO
PaintShop Pro Palettes.PAL
Microsoft Palettes.PAL

To import a palette file

  • Drag the file icon from Explorer or File Manager and drop it onto the Xara Webster window.

To add a palette to the Color Gallery
  1. Open the directory into which you installed Xara Webster.
  2. Open the Palettes directory.
  3. Copy a palette file into this directory. The file must be in one of the formats described above.

Tips
  • For palette files that contain large numbers of colors, it may be easier to import the palette into a blank document and use the Color Gallery to move the required named colors from the blank document into your selected document. Using the Color Gallery to apply a color from the blank document automatically copies the color into the selected document.
  • To create a palette file from Adobe PhotoShop, select Indexed Color from the Mode menu and choose Color Table from the Mode menu.
  • To create a palette file from PaintShop Pro V3, choose Save Palette from the Colors menu.
  • Xara Webster will only import colors from palette files when they are defined in color models supported by Xara Webster. e.g. PhotoColtone colors in ACT files will not import.
