I’m running Windows Vista basic and adobe photoshop CS3. I know there is a way to choose the amount of colors there are in Illustrator CS2, and was hoping that it might be in photoshop somewhere easy to find/remember where it was. I know in Illustrator, it was one of the tools you selected and it came up on top of the tool presets buttons. It said something like "Colors," and allowed you to choose the amount of colors and some other presets like a lot types of black and white. Pretty much, what the tool/menu allows me to do is decrease the amount of colors there are in (part of) an image, so that it is more cell shaded instead of soft shaded. Good uses for it is blending black and white comic book scans, and making it easier/faster to choose tones with the magic stick, so you are able to color it. If you can remember what tool I am thinking about, and know where I can find it on Photoshop, you would be a great help. Thanks.

You could try Image>Adjust>Postertize, or Filter>Cutout, or change the Mode to Indexed.
