Is it possible to create a custom swatch as either a seperate file that I can load or at least a palette that will load with my psd when i save and reopen it? I can’t figure out for the life of me how to do this short of saving everything as a .gif but that obviously isn’t realistic for heavy graphics work.

Searches have led me nowhere, any help would be great 🙂
