Help: Photograph Palette Editor

Photographs for your palettes can come from four sources: your iPhone or iPad camera, the photo roll, existing photographs Color Hints already has, or by grabbing an image from the web.

Use the camera button to add or change the photograph being used for palette colors.

Choosing a source for a Photograph

After choosing a photograph from one of the sources above, you can use the palette editor to select colors for your palette.

The Photograph Palette Editor

Once a photograph is chosen, select the eyedropper button to select colors from the photograph. Tap the photograph to select a color, or use a long press to see a preview of the color about to be selected.

Tap Done to exit from the palette editor saving any changes that were made. Tapping Revert will reset all information to what it was when the palette editor was opened.

Color choice refinements

Colors in the palette can be rearranged by dragging the colors. Colors can be deleted by sliding the colors outside the palette.

A long press on colors in the palette will show a large version of the chosen color. The RGB and CMYK values for the color will also be shown. The red, green, blue sliders can be used to adjust the chosen color. The Revert button can be used to return to the original color. Tap the Done button to return to the palette editor saving with any color changes.
