---PART II: Creating a Kuler Palette

    • Click Create in the left navigation, then From an Image. Click the Upload button and browse your computer's hard drive to select the original painting that you used in the first part of this exercise.
    • Kuler will automatically generate a color palette based on the painting. Select a mood from the options on the left: colorful, bright, muted, deep, or dark. Drag the circles over the painting to change the color swatches.
    • When you're happy with your palette, enter a Title and click Save. This will save the palette to your Themes page.
    • Click the Download icon to download the color theme as an .ase file to your computer hard drive. It's a tiny icon, so I've highlighted it below:
    • Launch Photoshop and open your Swatches panel (Window > Swatches). From the Swatches panel's pop-up menu, select Replace Swatches and navigate to your .ase file. Now your color palette from the great master painter (with help from Kuler) is loaded into Photoshop!
