Can I convert a swatch file to a "Library"

[MarieMeyer]

Can I "upgrade" my own swatch files to "Library" status? My question is motivated by this color picker, which privides the ability to pick colors from a Library but not a swatch file.

Hi MarieMeyer,

I don't think you can upgrade your swatches collection to one like the color picker library. However, this seems like a great idea and our Engineering would love to get this feature request. Could you share this as a feature request here? Photoshop | Photoshop Family Customer Community

This forum is monitored by our developers and they might look into it for future updates.

Feel free to make that request on my behalf.

Save a .aco file of your libnrary and put in here.

Restart Photoshop, and should appear after you click libraries.here.

When I save the file, the extension is .ase. Is that the same thing?

[Mike_Gondek]

.ase might work, but use the save swatches command to get .aco.

.ase comes form using save swatches for exchange. While I suspect .ase might function cannot try since at work I do not have admin rights.  The trick is you may need to restart Photoshop after doing this. Sorry nto sure am going form memory of how I did this before.
