About Kuler
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 share your themes with the Kuler community by uploading them.
The Kuler panel is available in Adobe Photoshop® CS5, Adobe Flash® Professional CS5, Adobe InDesign® CS5, Adobe
Illustrator® CS5, and Adobe Fireworks® CS5. The panel is not available in the French versions of these products.
