Customized palette

Axialis IconWorkshop™ supplies a standard palette with 256 colors. Images in 256 colors use fixed color palettes. You can customize this palette by creating your own colors using RGB values or the standard Windows® dialog box. Opening a new color palette causes all colors in the current image to be remapped using the new palette. It is therefore recommended that the desired color palette be opened before beginning a 256-color image.

The palette is initialized with the color palette of the image being edited. When a new image 256-color image is created, the palette is initialized with 256 colors from the default palette file.
