HOW I DO MY SWATCHES…
Fajar Roux
Aglobal color is automatically updated throughout your artwork whenyou edit it. All spot colors are global; however, process colorscan be either global or local. You can identify global color swatchesby the global color icon (whenthe panel is in list view) or a triangle in the lower corner (whenthe panel is in thumbnail view).
Aspot color is a premixed ink that is used instead of, or in addition to,CMYK process inks. You can identify spot-color swatches by the spot-color icon (whenthe panel is in list view) or a dot in the lower corner(when the panel is in thumbnail view).
Color groups can contain process,spot, and global process colors. They cannot contain pattern, gradient,none, or registration swatches. You create color groups based onharmonies by using either the Color Guide panel or the Edit Colors/RecolorArtwork dialog box. To put existing swatches into a color group,select the swatches and click the New Color Groupicon inthe Swatches panel. You can identify a color group by the foldericon .
You can also create tints in the Swatches panel. A tint is aglobal process color or spot color with a modified intensity. Tintsof the same color are linked together, so that if you edit the colorof a tint swatch, all associated tint swatches (and the objectspainted with those swatches) change color, though the tint values remainunchanged. Tints are identified by a percentage (when the Swatches panelis in list view)
You can automatically add all the colors from selectedartwork or all the colors in your document to the Swatches panel.Illustrator finds the colors that are not already in the Swatchespanel, converts any process colors to global colors, and adds themto the panel as new swatches.
To import all swatches from another document, choose Open Swatch Library > Other Library from the Swatches panel menu. Select the file from which you want to import swatches, and click Open. The imported swatches appear in a swatch library panel (not the Swatches panel).
You can share the solid swatches you create in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign by saving a swatch library for exchange. The colors appear the same across apps as long as your color settings are synchronized.
You cannot share the following types of swatches between applications: patterns, gradients, and the Registration swatch from Illustrator or InDesign; and book color references, HSB, XYZ, duotone, monitorRGB, opacity, total ink, and webRGB swatches from Photoshop. These types of swatches are automatically excluded when you save swatches for exchange.
You can manage the swatches in your Swatches panel by duplicating,grouping, replacing, merging, or deleting them. You can also specifyswatch options such as swatch name, color type, color mode, or preview.
Whenyou want to keep specific colors together in the Swatches panel,create a color group. For example, you can create a color groupfor colors you select in the Color Guide panel. When you save acolor group in the Edit Colors dialog box, it is automatically savedas a color group in the Swatches panel. You can also manually groupany set of solid color swatches.
Here since three weeks in possession of the X1 Carbon.
I am also a little disappointed. With the A1S color swatches are sent to the printer but with the device that is almost four times (!) as expensive is not possible?
Sorry to say this but weak performance
We know how important it is to get the right fit for your home. If you're having trouble deciding or if you simply want to feel the softness of our linen, we encourage you to order some of our swatches.
I know you can't "select unused" swatch colours and delete them, but how do you select multiple swatches for deletion? Deleting a swatch is already a pain as it's a two step process, with a confirmation dialogue, because "it's not an un-doable operation". Why isn't it an un-doable operation?
Also, from a UI standpoint, I found how to add a swatch by right-clicking an object and using the flyout menu. That's great but I would never have thought of it without the manual - I was was looking for some way to add a swatch from the currently selected colour (the thingywatsit in the un-dockable toolbox that shows the currently selected stroke and fill colours). At least put a right-click menu on those to add swatches methinks.
No, you can't add a color to the swatches from that. You do it by right-clicking on the object as you've found, or (for a subset of the possibilities you get by right-clicking) you can click on the icon in the Swatches panel:
That's the thingywatsit I'm talking about. I can't help myself - I just want to grab that colour and drag it to the colour swatches....it's an unbearable compulsion and seems so obviously natural and efficient. I guess anywhere there's a colour it should be "draggable" to the swatches really. Must faster than going through a frenzy of clicking and selecting
The swatches panel user interface isn't very intuitive. In fact, most of the options are very labor-intensive. For instance, I would also like to delete several swatch fills with a single operation. Otherwise, deleting 10 swatch fills would require: first right click on swatch; then click delete color; then click yes to confirm.
Imagine you have a base color of blue. You have 4 tints of the same blue for highlights, and 5 shades of the blue for shadows in a design. Deleting them all would require 30 (10 swatches by 3 clicks each) clicks to delete.
Now imagine 20, 30 or 40 swatches in a large document palette. Hundreds of clicks.
This is definitely an area that needs looking into. Having created a document palette from a supplied graphic it has created many more than the apparent swatches and deleting them out is a painful exercise. Intention to add and convert the few colours to global for easy across doc editing, didn't happen!
For configurable products, color can be indicated by a visual swatch, text swatch, or input control. Swatches can be used on the product page, in product listings, and in layered navigation. On the product page, swatches are synchronized to display the corresponding product image when the swatch is selected. When the customer selects the swatch, the corresponding value appears in the input field and the swatch is outlined as the current selection.
Swatches can also be used in layered navigation, if the Use in Layered Navigation property of the color attribute is set to Yes. The following example shows both text-based and color image swatches in layered navigation.
The only swatches each document has are the standard swatches. I really don't want to have to recreate these swatches every time I start a new document, yet everything online makes it sound like moving swatches between documents, or even having a set of default swatches when you open Illustrator, is easy peasy. I must be missing something fundamental.
Work AroundI made some shapes and applied the swatches to those shapes, then copied and pasted the shapes into each new document so that the swatches showed up in the swatch panel and could be applied to elements therein. I was able to get my work done, but I'm still miffed with Illustrator and want to know what I was doing wrong.
When opening a new image from a PNG file in Illustrator as the background for my artboard to trace over I am not able to select any color swatches the only available options are [none] and [registration].
I'm embarrassed to say I've struggled with this for months. Luckily, is seems I'm not the only one. Unluckily, most people have only given half answers, then reference another half-answer. Here is what has worked for me, using color swatches as an example:
Unfortunately, this opens that swatch library in a new panel, rather than opening the set of swatches into your artwork like any sane person would assume. I'm sure there is a good, logical reason Adobe chose this behavior for their software. It probably makes sense to a graphic artist, but since I'm just a scientist with OCD and a heavy sense of sarcasm, it's lunacy to me.
