Linking to an External Colour Palette

1. In the Colour view, click on the Create Palette button to create a palette to be used as external.

2. Save your scene by selecting File > Save from the top menu or by clicking the Save button or press Ctrl + S (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ + S (Mac OS X).

3. On your computer or server, create a master directory. Ideally, this should be created in your Root folder to keep it within the project directory. You could also place it inside your Colour Model’s subdirectory.

4. Name the folder appropriately, for example: Joe_master_palette.

5. From your operating system, browse to your Toon Boom Harmony scene and open the palette-library folder.

6. Select and copy your palette *.plt file to copy it to the master palette directory.

7. Create a new Toon Boom Harmony scene or open the scene where you will link this palette.

8. In the Timeline or Xsheet view, select the element to link the palette to.

9. From the Colour View menu, select Palettes > Link to External.

The Link to External Palette dialog box opens.

10. Click Browse to search for your master palettes folder and select the palette *.plt file you want to link.

11. In the Palette list section, select how you want to load the palette; at the scene or element level.

12. Click OK.

The linked palette appears in the Colour view.

If a palette is outside the scene, the External icon appears beside the palette name.
