John Smith123 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Hello I'm using Affinity Photo and want to use a predefined color palette (swatch?) onto some images. My color palette has 128 colors. So if I load an image with like 1000 colors I would like to scale it down to that 128 predefined colors. If that is possible how can I do that? Thank you in advance!

Sounds like you might have to convert to a file type like Gif or PNG for a limited colour range... can remember if Desktop version of Photo has an export for web option like Photoshop does, but that might be a route to reducing the colour range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith123 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Thank you and no, not GIF. I want to convert some images for a retro computer with a given color palette. That system allows 128 colors only. That means the colors are precisely given that might not be ensured on exporting it (I assume). The export can be a PNG file.

Staff Lee D Posted July 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2020 If I understand what you're wanting to do, this would require Photo to have an option for indexing colours. Now it has an option to create a palette based on the loaded document or you can specify an image to base the palette off. However we don't have an option to convert a RGB bitmap into indexed colour so that a custom palette can be loaded, see this suggestion feedback thread about the issue.
