  In this video, I will show you several ways to import

  color palettes into procreate.

  importing color palettes with Dropbox

  I already have the color palette files in my Dropbox account

  login to your Dropbox account

  and add the files to your account before following

  these instructions in the description

  below this video. There is a link to instructions from

  Dropbox and how to add files to your

  Dropbox account if you need help with getting them into

  your account

  Right now I'm in the procreate Gallery, but I'm

  switching to using the Dropbox app that is

  on my iPad.

  Let's open up the Dropbox app. This will load

  all the files and folders in my Dropbox account.

  I have a lot of folders I have organized in Dropbox.

  For this example, I'm going to open up a folder from

  my florals for products course and use.

  A swatches file here as an example.

  But you can do this for any folder that you

  have saved procreate swatches, too.

  You can create a folder and Dropbox specifically for

  swatches if you want to organize them that way so

  that they are all in one place.

  I am definitely going to do that as well. Now that

  I said that.

  Here is one of the Swatch files. I have saved for

  a lesson. Now. I have the swatches file

  selected. If I select these three dots

  on the top, right it will bring up some options for

  this file. I'm going to select the first option

  which is share and then select export

  file. Now you can see that several options

  have come up.

  I can airdrop to my computer or I can select the

  procreate app. I'm going to select the procreate

  app.

  Now it opens up the procreate gallery to

  check that. My color palette was imported into procreate.

  I need to open up a document to access

  the color palettes.

  So I'm going to select this blank canvas at

  the top of my gallery.

  If I select palettes and go to compact view, I

  can see all of my palettes.

  You can see this palette was placed in my color palette at

  the top, but sometimes it places the palettes

  at the very bottom of your palette. So check there

  as well. I'm going to delete this palette though, since it's

  a duplicate for me since I already have this palette in

  here.importing pallets from an open document

  Since we now have a procreate document open, I'm

  going to show you how to import color palettes into an

  open document from the palettes panel.

  At the top of the palettes I'm selecting the plus button.

  This will bring up some options. I'm going to

  select new from file. This will open

  up the file manager and I'm in my Dropbox files.

  It's showing me the last place. I was

  in my account.

  So I'm going to select this watch file and import this

  one again, and you can see it imported it into my

  palettes here that is it for this How To tutorial

  and getting Swatch files into your color

  palettes in procreate.
