Photoshop and color

Monsignor Funkibut · 28-May-08, 05:05 PM

I haven't seriously looked at Photoshop since it was a Mac-only product and PC Paintbrush was still winning the PC Mag Editors award.

Yes I'm old.

But I've recently been looking at a scanned image. The image is 3 colors but when you scan you get a bunch.

Does Photoshop have color tools that will 'slam' an image to the 3 best [ie most prevalent] colors? How about 3 colors I define? Can I define how many colors [not just 3 but 4,5,6,7,...].

I don't need to know the exact menu commands as I don't own Photoshop, but you might touch on them briefly for the benefit of others.

You can use the 'Indexed Colors' mode in Photoshop to limit or customize the number of colors. The option is found in Image > Mode > Indexed Color... From the Indexed Color dialog, you can change the palette to the colors of your choice.
