Hi!
Where can I find info about pre-installed actions? For example, there is an action in the "Production" folder called "reduced color palette." I'd like to know how to use it, situations where it would be useful, etc. Is there a resource where I can get information about various actions?

I am unaware of a "cheat sheet" that describe the various actions. What you might do is:

The image on the left has 256 colors in its table, the one on the right has a Color Table of 16 colors. Note the size difference under each image.

Ah ok. Thanks!
I think this will help with what I want to do - which is analyze an image's color scheme weight ratio
