To import a color palette into Infinite Painter, you'll primarily navigate through the app's color management system, which allows you to load existing palette files or create new ones from various sources.
Accessing Your Color Palettes
The process begins by launching the Infinite Painter application and locating its color interface:
- Open Infinite Painter: Bring up the Infinite Painter application on your device. On some systems, this might involve a quick "swipe across" to switch between active apps if it was recently used.
- Navigate to Colors: Once in the app, look for the Colors icon. This is typically represented by a color wheel, a paint palette, or a similar visual cue, usually located in one of the main toolbars. Tap on it to open the color selection and palette management panel.
- Locate Palette Options: Within the Colors panel, you'll find your current color selector and a section dedicated to palettes. Look for a menu icon (often three dots, a gear, or a folder icon) or text label that says "Palettes," "Manage Palettes," or similar. This menu will contain options to create, load, or import palettes.
Importing a Palette File
This is the most common and direct method if you have a pre-existing palette file saved on your device.
Supported File Types
Infinite Painter often supports standard palette file formats. The most common include:
.ACO(Adobe Color Swatch): Widely used by Adobe applications..ASE(Adobe Swatch Exchange): Another common Adobe format that can store color groups.- Other formats like plain text files (
.TXT) containing color codes (HEX, RGB) might be supported for manual import or parsing, though less common for direct file import.
Step-by-Step File Import
Follow these steps to import a palette file:
- Initiate Import: From the palette management options within the Colors panel, select an option like "Import Palette," "Load Palette," or a similar function.
- Browse for File: Your device's file browser will open. Navigate to the folder where your
.ACO,.ASE, or other compatible palette file is saved. - Select File: Tap on the desired palette file to select it.
- Confirm Import: Infinite Painter will process the file. Once imported, your new palette should appear in your list of available palettes, ready for use.
Creating a Palette from an Image (Image Picker)
Infinite Painter also provides a convenient way to extract colors directly from an image, allowing you to build a new palette based on a reference photo or artwork.
- Access Image Palette Creator: Within the palette management options, look for an option such as "Create from Image," "Palette from Photo," or an icon resembling an image or camera.
- Select Image: Choose an image from your device's gallery or file storage.
- Extract Colors: Infinite Painter will either automatically generate a palette based on the dominant colors in the image, or it will provide tools for you to manually tap and pick specific colors from the image to add to a new palette.
- Save Palette: Once you have extracted your desired colors, give your new palette a name and save it.
Manually Adding Colors to a Palette
If you have specific color codes (HEX, RGB, HSV) or simply want to build a palette from scratch, you can do so manually.
- Create New Palette: In the palette manager, select "Create New Palette" or choose an existing palette to edit.
- Add New Color: Tap the "+" icon or a similar button to add a new color swatch.
- Define Color: Use the color picker to visually select a color, or if available, input specific HEX, RGB, or HSV values for precise color matching.
- Repeat and Save: Continue adding colors until your palette is complete. Remember to name and save your new or edited palette.
Tips for Palette Management
- Organization: Group your palettes by project, theme, or color family for quick access.
- Renaming: Give your palettes descriptive names to easily identify them.
- Backup: Regularly back up your custom palettes, especially if you invest a lot of time in creating them, to prevent loss.
