Image Palette Excercises

Image palettes are a collection of the colors in an image with 16 to 256  colors.  You may have to respectively increase or decrease the image that you are going to be working with to an 256 8 bit image

The image palette displays the colors for painting and drawing in the image.  These palettes can be edited, saved in a file separate from the image and loaded into other images.  Paint Shop Pro has several preset image palettes that are located in the program "Palettes" folder. While the colors within the image palette can be changed, but the number of colors can not be increased.
