> Either you can choose the palette to edit in the palette
select dialog or you activate it in the palette editor with a
single left clicking on it. The palette that you are about to
edit will now appear in the edit area. If the palette has a
large amount of colors then each color cell in the palette can
be rather small. To be able to view and edit the palette you
can therefore zoom in and out with the zoom buttons.
</P
><P
> To change the name of a color cell you first mark it by left
clicking on it. The Name field next to the zoom buttons will
be activated and you can change the name.
</P
><P
> The edit menu will appear if you right click in the edit
frame. Choose to edit and the standard Gimp Color selector
will appear and you will be able to change to color in the
color cell that you right-clicked in. New will add a color at
the end of the palette. The new color cell will inherit the
color of the cell that you brought up the menu in. To alter
the newly created cell you have to right-click in it and
choose edit. Delete in the right click pop up menu will delete
the color cell from which you brought up the menu in (you will
not get a confirmation window).

mark all palettes from the first marked to the last marked
palette.
