Discussion

In grayscale-alpha, red-green-blue, cyan-magenta-yellow-black, and hue-saturation-brightness modes, the user adjusts colors by manipulating sliders. In the custom palette mode, the user can load an NSImage file (TIFF or EPS) into the NSColorPanel, then select colors from the image. In custom color list mode, the user can create and load lists of named colors. The two custom modes provide NSPopUpLists for loading and saving files. Finally, color wheel mode provides a simplified control for selecting colors.
