UPDATED, July 2011:
Hey everyone! I recently went through my Tip Share posts, and have been slowly reworking some of them. After reading through my instructions for this Tip Share, I shook my head at myself. It was kind of long and kind of confusing, so I took some time to make a video showing you how to create a color palette in Photoshop Elements. I’d recommend clicking the fullscreen button to watch the larger size (it’s the fourth icon from the left, looks like an arrow inside a square).
Prefer the old written instructions? You can find those right here. Please note, the written instructions are one way of making a color palette, while the video takes slightly different steps. If you try to follow both at the same time, you may get confused.
Rather just download the free template? You can find that here.
Any questions, let me know. Hope you enjoy!
Ohhhhhh this is FABULOUS!!
Amazingly simple!!! I can't wait to read about the color palette blog walk!
Thanks for the tips, so so easy! The blog walk sounds like fun…look forward to hearing more
This is all brilliant. I am off to try them all and see what I like best. I think that the Photoshop looks like the best deal, but that means that I have to get that program up and running again on my computer. But I will persevere because I really want to participate in your fun!
Enjoy the day!

Dear Brandi,
I didn't read this yet but it looks fabulous!! I am a color lover!
thanks
I'm so glad this could help you guys!
I know that the Blog Walk is over, but I'd love to see what you guys come up with, either randomly or on Color Palette Fridays! I love me some palettes.
Fantastic job on the video, Brandi. I have advanced beginner skills in Photoshop and learned an easier way to do a palette. I first saw color palettes on your blog and absolutely love them. I’m planning on doing color palettes for my jewelry on my blog. Thanks for the palettes and video. Marvelous job!
Brandi,
Thanks for sharing, what a fun tool to learn.

Hi Brandi, I just “found” this and I’m thrilled! I’ve been wanting to find a way to do this and couldn’t ever find a way where I liked the end product. This is just perfect. So well done and easy to understand. I’ll be using this a lot! Thank you so much for posting it. –Sally
You have no idea how happy I am now that I have found your website! You have so many wonderful tips that I can’t wait to try. First, I have been trying to create color palettes on by blog for months now and they are just not turning out to be what I had originally envisioned. I recently purchased elements 10 and am looking forward to reading your tutorial, thanks for sharing, as there is limited information out there.

Awesome, Linz, I’m so glad it worked for you!
This is so very cool. Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderful way to investigate – and play with – the colours in a photo. Can’t wait to dig into this.
