Alter colours in decreased palette?

Post by Krenzathal »

This may sound like a bit of a dumb question, but I'm making some graphics for a retro style game and so I have reduced my palette to 64 colours. The problem is that I can't seem to adjust the colours within that palette at all. When I click on the material properties it just gives the values of the colours and no way to adjust them.

Am I going crazy or just missing something, because I can do this on my Amiga which is over 30 years old.

Thanks.

To edit a color palette you must use the Edit palette command. This I believe is found under image->palette->edit palette.

Or, and this is my preferred method, do not decrease the color depth until you have finished editing the image. Then you can freely change colors all you want. It is far less of a Hassel.
