Applying color edits to images
In Illustrator, you can convert images to a different color mode (such as RGB, CMYK, or
grayscale) or adjust individual color values. You can also saturate (darken) or desaturate
(lighten) colors or invert colors (create a color negative).
In order to edit colors in the image, the image needs to be embedded in the Illustrator file. If
the file is linked, you can edit the image in Photoshop and then update in Illustrator.

With the Selection tool ( ), click to select the berries image. Choose Edit > Edit

If you later decide to adjust the colors of the same image by choosing Edit >
Edit Colors > Adjust Color Balance, the color values will be set to 0 (zero).
