Ok, you're almost done. We now need to sort the current palette to the same order as your previously saved Post-It palettes.

1) Click Palette -> Sort Colors (shown below). For this example, select Hue and then click OK.

Note that the colors on the left are now sorted.

2) Click Palette -> Open and browse to your Post-it - HUE saved palette from before and click OK.

That looks freaking awful (shown below).

This is why you save differently sorted versions of the palette.

3) Click Control-Z to undo your way back to the original image, or just File -> Open it up again. This time, sort the original image to Luminance, and then open the Luminance palette that you had saved before.

Not bad. Not bad at all, when you consider that you're working with 10 light colors. Stand back a few feet and squint at it, and it really looks pretty good.

This is one of those steps where you can play around quite a bit. Try sorting the original to Hue and then loading the Luminance palette, or go back and create some more sorted palettes (try Red or Blue for example) and sorting your original into them.

If you like the results, skip ahead a bit to the Printing and Counting Post-Its step, otherwise you can read ahead and learn how to manually edit things a bit.
