Working with Color 161
Removing colors
Removing colors from the color list in the Swatches panel retains the colors in any corresponding
objects as unnamed colors. When you remove multiple colors, a dialog box prompts you either to
remove all colors or to remove only the unused colors.
Removing spot, Hexachrome, and tint colors does the following:
•
Spot colors are converted to process colors. Objects containing these spot-to-process converted
colors may not print separations as intended.
•
Hexachrome colors are converted to RGB values. The Hexachrome icon appears to the side of
the name in the Swatches panel.
•
Removing the base color of a tint also removes any tints of that color.
Note: You can’t remove or replace imported spot or process colors from an unconverted EPS file. To determine
whether an imported EPS file is unconverted, select the object in your drawing. The Object panel displays “EPS”
for unconverted EPS files.
To remove specific colors:
1
Select Edit > Select > None or press Tab to deselect all objects.
2
Click a color name in the Swatches panel. Shift-click to select additional colors that are
adjacent. Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) to select additional colors
that are not adjacent.
3
Click the Swatches panel Options menu control and select Remove.
4
At the prompt, click Remove to remove all selected colors or Cancel to cancel the operation.
To remove all unused named colors:
Select Xtras > Delete > Unused Named Colors to remove unused named colors.
Editing colors
You can edit colors in your artwork by using various techniques in FreeHand: you can brighten or
dull colors, add or subtract percentages of color values, create grayscale and monochome effects;
convert colors to grayscale, and globally change color throughout your artwork.
To alter color component values of an existing color, you use the Color Mixer panel (see “Using
the Color Mixer panel” on page 150).
Brightening and dulling colors
Using the Colors Xtras, you can brighten colors or dull them in a single step. To control colors
more precisely, use the Color Control Xtra (see “Controlling color values” on page 162). The
Lighten, Darken, Saturate, and Desaturate Colors Xtras do not affect spot colors.
