How Do I Add Swatches to Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:34 am

Swatches are a great way to keep track of colors when working in Photoshop. By default, Photoshop comes with a set of swatches that you can use, but you can also create your own custom swatches. In this article, we’ll show you how to add swatches to Photoshop.

To add a new color swatch in Photoshop, open the Swatches panel by going to Window > Swatches. Then, click on the “New Swatch” icon at the bottom of the panel.

A New Swatch dialog box will appear. Enter a name for your new swatch and click “OK”.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, or do not have a lot of experience using the software, you should be cautious about adding swatches to your project. Swatches can be very helpful in adding color and consistency to your project, but they can also be overwhelming and cause your project to look cluttered. When adding swatches to Photoshop, be sure to take the time to experiment with different colors and arrangements to find what works best for your project.

Now that you’ve created a new swatch, you need to add a color to it. To do this, use the Eyedropper tool to select the color you want to add to the swatch.

Then, click on the “Add Color to Swatch” icon at the bottom of the Swatches panel. The color you selected will now be added to your new swatch.

You can also delete custom swatches that you no longer need. To do this, select the swatch you want to delete and click on the “Delete Swatch” icon at the bottom of the Swatches panel. A confirmation dialog box will appear; click “OK” to delete the swatch.

Swatches are a great way to keep track of colors when working in Photoshop. By following the steps above, you can easily create and manage your own custom swatches.
