You can save custom palettes as external palette files. You can use saved palettes with other Fireworks documents or in other applications that support external palette files, such as Adobe FreeHand, Adobe Flash, and Adobe Photoshop. Saved palette files have the .act extension.

To save a custom color palette:

  1. Select Save Palette from the Optimize panel Options menu.
  2. Type a name for the palette and select a destination folder.
  3. Click Save.

    You can load the saved palette file into the Swatches panel or Optimize panel for use when exporting other documents.
