Shortcuts: [ v7 ] or [ v9 ]
Don't worry, you'll be a *wiz* at this stuff in NO time! To use a pre-determined color, no matter what version of PSP or Animation shop you're using, simply click on your color pallette (toggle it from the toolbar if it's not already showing) and type the HEX# code into the box at the bottom right of the window that pops up.
Find step by step pictorial instruction for both versions of PSP below!
