Reducing colors via indexed color and color table.

[chet_60]

Using indexed color, and selecting colors from the image - I get mostly black and very few pixels of selected color. My goal is to reduce the number of colors in the image by selecting them.

I am on a mac

Photoshop 23.2

I am not doing something correctly, but I don't know what because sometimes this works fine.

Help ?

Thanks

In your index table you only show 6 individual colors with the remaining 250 as black. It's recoloring your art with the majority as black.

Select your table swatches into 6 sections and choose your colors.
