Import Palette

It's in the Import Palette dialog you set the import source. You can import (create) a palette from a image, a gradient or a index palette (read index image).

Import from Gradient:
  Select gradient as source
  Set the name of the palette you are about to create.
  Click on select in the Preview area in order to bring up the Gradient selection dialog where you will choose source gradient
  Set the amount of colors that you want in the palette in the Sample Size field.
Import from Image:
  Select Image as source
  Set the name of the palette you are about to create.
  Choose the one of the currently opened images that you want to create a palette out of. NOTE: That you will create the palette from all visible layers with in that image. (I.e like if you had merged all visible layers). Please see Layers for an explanation of layer functions.
  Set the Interval, which will control -- TODO
  Set the amount of colors that you want in the palette in the Sample Size field.
Import from Index Palette
  Select Image as source
  Set the name of the palette you are about to create.
  Choose the one of the currently opened index images that you want to create a palette out of.
  Set the amount of colors that you want in the palette in the Sample Size field. NOTE: It's no use to have a higher amount of colors in the palette than the currently amount of colors present in the index image. You can view and alter the the index palette in the Index Palette dialog, this will also give you an opportunity to evaluate how many colors that are present in the indexed palette.

When you are done click Import and a new palette will be created. Close cancels that whole operation.
