Hey There

Just would like to point this out to the FF community, no doubt some of you will be aware of it's existence.

Click : Adobe Kuler



Click to see a larger screenshot of the interface

It's basically an online AIR application that allows you to browse literally thousands (approx 49,000) of colour palettes online.

I work as a web designer and find it indispensible, you can create your own palettes and share them online and save them out as Adobe .ASF palette files to use in Adobe Photoshop CS2/3

It really is a fine application and best of all it's free !!

All you gotta do is register and have the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player

Personally, I think it compliments FF perfectly as a workflow companion

Enjoy

And no, I don't work for Adobe smile:D

Hi Redcap

It was used on this site design layout :



I also use it to create colour schemes for Filter Forge renders, i.e.

The 'Kuler' colour scheme below:



was used in this render:

This is useful Biomechanic if only I could use it smile:(

The .air file extension does not register on Windows Vista (Adobe AIR)
Issue
When you double-click an .air file after a successful installation of Adobe AIR on Windows Vista, you receive an "unknown type" error and the file no longer has the Adobe AIR icon associated with it.


Reason
The .air file extension is not being registered properly on Windows Vista due to locked file-type association in the registry entries.


Solution
This is a known issue on Windows Vista.

Hey Carl

You don't have to have Adobe Air installed on your computer to use this !!

You only need Adobe Air if you wanna use Adobe Desktop, i.e. Kuler gets installed as part of your system, a standalone if you like... I think that's what you've tried to do - I should have posted the direct link

Anyway, here it is:

Just go here Kuler Online Application and register, that's it ! - but one thing you will have to have is the current Flash player.

In fact, as far as I can remember (I've used this for a year now), you don't even need to register if you just wanna browse, you only need to register if you wanna start sharing themes and such

Trust me, this does work

(From what I gather Adobe ripped off their idea.)
