Controlling color values

The Color Control Xtra adds or subtracts a percentage of a CMYK, RGB, or HLS color value to all colors in a selection. If a color already consists of minimum or maximum values, or if it is a spot color, the Color Control Xtra will have no effect.

Modifying objects with named colors with the Color Control Xtra produces unnamed colors. The original named colors remain in the Swatches panel. To add the modified colors to the Swatches panel, you must name them (see Naming colors).

To control color values:

1

Choose Xtras > Colors > Color Control.

2

In the Color Control dialog box, select a color mode, CMYK, RGB, or HLS.

3

Select Preview to view changes as you make them.

4

Drag the sliders or enter values to adjust the color components, between -100% and 100%, and -360° to 360° for Hue; the default is 0 for no change.
