Can I import color palettes from Benjamin Moore into PSP?

Post by Caseaday »

I do know that BM has palette files that are downloadable and can be imported into Adobe products, Sketch Up and a couple of others. I am wondering, hoping, that there is a way to import those palettes into PSP Ultimate. Has anyone done this?

Thanks

The ones for Adobe are in swatch exchange format. I don't believe PSP has the ability to import these, no. But give me a week, I think I can come up with something.

EDIT: So I can import the ASE files into Photoshop and then export as ACO files. Then my Import ACO script works beautifully to add the colors to PSP. So I think I can make an importer. I just need to study the file format a bit closer.

Hello Caseaday,

I've just finished my Import script for the types of files Benjamin Moore provides. So now you should be able to import all of the Benjamin Moore color collections.

Here is a video demonstration of the process: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F8gXkI ... mbhEu/view

You can download the script here: viewtopic.php?f=104&t=64190
