Viewing a color table

The color table for a slice appears in the Color Table panel in the Save for Web dialog box (Photoshop) or the Color Table palette (ImageReady).

Note: In ImageReady, be careful not to confuse the Color Table palette with the Color palette or Swatches palette. You use the Color Table palette to optimize colors; you use the Color palette and Swatches palette to select colors.

To view the color table for an optimized slice:

1. (ImageReady) Choose Window > Color Table.
2. Select a slice that is optimized in GIF or PNG-8 format. (See Selecting slices.) The color table for the selected slice appears in the Color Table palette.

Note: In ImageReady, the color table for the selected slice will not appear if Auto Regenerate is off. For more information, see Controlling optimization (ImageReady).

If an image has multiple slices, the colors in the color table may vary between slices (you can link the slices first to prevent this from happening). If you select multiple slices that use different color tables, the color table is empty and its status bar displays the message "Mixed."
