In-Depth Information
The Edit tab contains a color wheel with markers representing the colors in the
selected artwork. Depending on whether the Lock icon is enabled or disabled, you
can move the markers around on the color wheel individually (unlocked) or in
unison (locked) to adjust the color in your art. You can also click the display icons to
select a segmented wheel or a bar view. In addition to dragging markers on the color
wheel, you can use the sliders and controls just below the color wheel to adjust the
various aspects of color (hue, saturation, and value). You can work in the standard
color modes, or you can choose Global Adjust to affect all colors at once. As you
adjust individual colors with the sliders, notice that the color marker you selected
will also move on the color wheel as you move a slider.
On either the Assign or Edit tabs, you can choose to limit colors to a swatch library
such as a Pantone library using the “Limits the color group to colors in a swatch
library” icon. On the Assign tab, you have a Preset list and a Color Reduction Options
icon for restricting the colors that can be reassigned. When you restrict your colors
to a swatch library, the color wheel or bar on the Edit tab displays only the library's
colors, while Assign mode will replace all your original colors with those from the
library that it thinks are the closest match.
In Edit or Assign mode, clicking the miniature grid-like icon
(the“Limits the color group to colors in a
swatch library” icon highlighted here) will
present a pop-up menu of swatch libraries
