The feature is very self-explanatory really. Once you sign in you choose 'Create' and then you click on 'From and Image'. Click the 'Upload New Image' and choose an image (in PNG, GIF or JPEG format). By default Kuler will select a 'colorful' palette as default 'mood' which is my preferred setting. Once the color are extracted you can change the mood setting or you can change each swatch separately to your liking. When you select a swatch marker on the photo, the corresponding color swatch will become active.
Go to the Swatches panel (Window > Swatches) Select 'Load Swatches' from the panel menu Browse to the .ase file you've saved and select it and click the 'Open' button The swatches will be added to the other swatches the Swatches panel You can also choose 'Replace Swatches' if you can to replace the currently loaded swatches with the ones you want to load.
in Adobe Illustrator
Go to the Swatches panel (Window > Swatches) Select 'Open Swatch Library' and then 'Other Libraries...' from the panel menu Browse to the .ase file you've saved and select it and click the 'Open' button A separate Swatches panel appears on your canvas
You can also choose to place the .ase file in the Swatches folder (or Color Swatches folder) located within the Presets folder of your application. This way it'll appear in the panel's menu next time you launch the application. Everyone has his or her own method of course, but I prefer to save the swatch files in the folder of the project itself together with the Graphic Styles or Action Files (if any) etc.
Still, I believe choosing a color palette before you start on your design is a very good exercise and good starting point. You can decide on which colors could be your primary colors and which would your secondary and tertiary etc. Which colors would serve as subtle accents (e.g. text links and hover effect for a webpage) etc. That's why you'll notice a lot of contrast and the use of complimentary colors in my Kuler color themes. I find myself almost never using the other settings like Analogous, Compound or Complimentary when I compose a theme and that's just because I like 100% full control over each and every swatch I pick. That's just mainly because I know which direction I want to go when I'm composing my palette. Still, I believe these settings are very useful in case you have no idea at all. You could start from 1 color and then experiment which colors could go with that color by dragging the sliders. Of course with the new feature I think it'll be more fun to create really nice color themes. I for one will sure use this a lot.
Update:
There is something I completely forgot to mention: If you go to Window > Adobe Labs > kuler a Kuler panel will appear on your canvas. From here you can browse color themes and add them directly into
