Warning: this is going to be an attempt to Explain It Like You’re Five, coming from someone who is:
(A) both Terminally Online and painfully tech-uneducated: my cyberhousebreaking has been a process of trial and error and error and error, and
(B) a pompous exposition looking for someone to happen to. My advance apologies for any condescension or regaling you with my braying ignorance—-which will not be deliberate (and let me know if I commit such.) Note further that my own experience is on an IPad via Safari; your mileage may vary.
Okay; you either upload an image from your device with the “Upload Image” bar at the upper left of the sample image (a shelf of brilliantly colored fabric bolts forming vertical stripes) or enter a URL in the “Enter image url” box to the upper right and click on the “Go” button to its right. An oval will begin pulsing in the center of the sample image before resolving into the image you entered, with a palette to its right of five colors randomly pulled from the image:
(Sometimes the site will just keep interminably loading without yielding anything, and there’s nothing for it but to wait for the finicky fit to pass.)
If you’re not satisfied with the results, there are two ways you can adjust the palette. The black “Shuffle” button below the image at left will produce another randomized combination; to hand-pick a color from the image, touch or click on one of the palette color swatches; when a dark border frames the swatch, a white banner reading “Click & drag over the image to select color.” will appear at the top of the image. You can then click upon or touch the specific part of the image you want to pick. (If the Click & drag banner is in the way of the space you want to click, you can touch the X at its upper right to dispel it.)
Once you have the palette you want, pressing the “Collage” button second from left will give you a choice of viewing or downloading the palette image (which will be in PNG.).The third button, “Download”, doesn’t seem to work on my device in any of the formats offered, and the fourth, “Save Palette—Save to Cloud”, is something I prefer not to do.
Beneath that row of buttons, in bold, it says,
“Download 59 Colors to one file
Download Colors extracted from image to one file. Available formats Adobe Photoshop swatch - ACO , Adobe swatch exchange - ASE, Portable Document Format - PDF and Image color card.”
Beneath the above text are four more black buttons, and beneath those is a palette of (usually) 59 colors auto-picked from the image you entered; the Shuffle and hand-picking functions do not affect the selection. (The default selection is a palette of colors from the sample image; every now and then it’ll glitch to display the colors from your image below those from the sample image. Note also that a very simple image may yield fewer than 59 colors.)
The first button from the left is “PDF”, which will generate the palette in PDF but, depending on your device, may not automatically download it; the second, “Image Color Card”, will download the palette in PNG; the third, “Photoshop ACO”, and fourth, “Adobe ASE (Adobe Swatch Exchange)” involve services and formats I don’t use and that don’t work on my device.
