About the Kuler panel
The Kuler™ panel is your portal to groups of colors, or themes, created by an online community of designers. You can
use it to browse thousands of themes on Kuler™, and then download some to edit or to include in your own projects.
You can also use the Kuler panel to create and save themes, and then share them with the Kuler community by
uploading them.
The Kuler panel is available in Adobe Photoshop® CS4, Adobe Flash® Professional CS4, Adobe InDesign® CS4, Adobe
Illustrator® CS4, and Adobe Fireworks® CS4. The panel is not available in the French versions of these products.
