An Introduction

Color swatch - The outer rectangle of the color swatch shows the outline color and the center rectangle shows the fill color. These are the colors of any
selected objects, or the current color attributes if no objects are selected.
2.
Color editor - click to display the Color editor.
3.
Color picker - The eye-dropper can be used to pick a color from any part of the document or any part of the computer screen including colors visible in
other software.
4.

to a photo which has had a contone color applied.
5.
Current Fill color - A diamond marker in the top left denotes the fill color of the currently selected object
6.
Current Line color - A diamond marker in the top right denotes the line color of the currently selected object.
Color Editor
The Color Editor allows you to select from any color of the spectrum. Unlike most graphics programs the Color Editor can remain on screen while you continue to work. It changes to reflect the color of the selected objects. Select the text, line or object that you want to color and access the Color Editor using one of these methods: • Choose ‘Utilities’ > ‘Color editor’. • Click ‘Ctrl+ E’. • Click the ‘Edit color’ icon or double click on the ‘Current line and fill color’ icon on the Color line. • With an object selected, right click the object and choose Fill Color.
