Exporting Palette Files
You can export palette (*.PAL) files for use in other projects via the Export option in the Edit
Palettes dialog. Use this feature to save and distribute custom palettes that can be imported back
into TPD4 via the Import option:
1. Select Panel > Edit Palettes to open the Edit Palettes dialog.
2. Click the Export button to access the Save As dialog. Use this dialog to save the palette to a
specified directory, as a *.PAL file.
Copying Palettes
Use the Copy and Paste buttons at the top of the Edit Palettes dialog to copy and paste entire
palettes:
1. Select Panel > Edit Palettes (or click the toolbar button) to open the Edit Palettes dialog.
2. Select the palette that you want to copy from the palette selection drop-down list (in the upper-
left corner of the dialog).
3. Click the Copy button.
4. Click the New button to open a new (empty palette).
5. Click the Paste button to paste the contents of the source palette into the new (target) palette.
Alternatively, you could open an existing palette and paste over the existing palette entries.
Copying Palette Entries
Use the Copy Entry and Paste Entry buttons at the top of the Edit Palettes dialog to copy and paste
individual palette entries (colors):
1. Select Panel > Edit Palettes (or click the toolbar button) to open the Edit Palettes dialog.
2. Select the palette that contains the color(s) that you want to copy from the palette selection
drop-down list (in the upper-left corner of the dialog).
3. Click to select the palette entry that you want to copy.
4. Click the Copy Entry button.
5. Click the New button to open a new (empty palette) or select an existing one from the drop-
down list.
6. Select the slot that you want to paste the copied palette entry into and click Paste Entry.
Note that this action pastes the color definition information, but not the Name.
If you select a slot that already has a palette entry, the copied color will overwrite the original, but
the Name will not change.
