Genuine question (if anyone knows): This isnt a mockery or complaint, i'm only an amateur DSLR photographer, but how does one actually take advantage of these color palettes. I mean, what can they actually do for me?


I think they are only useful to a designer which wants to extract color schemes from pictures he enjoys.

A guy here told us the other day that he did this "manually" with pictures he liked, for creating palettes for his projects.


I dont know if you use lightroom at all, but if say i want to create a preset filter, could this data be useful for that?

I often see photographs that have had color processing work done in Photoshop but can never quite seem to match them. I wonder if there is some way in which this would help(?)


Never used Lightroom, but the presets on http://goo.gl/wQ0PV seem to be formatted in json.

Seems like this presets can be created easily from a list of colors.

Interesting application.


Interesting. I'll have to explore this further. Thanks for the heads-up


I think it's Lua, not json. Lightroom being written in Lua an all.
