Exporting colors

You can export colors from the color list in the Swatches panel to use them in other documents. When you export artwork, you can also choose to convert the colors to RGB or CMYK. For more information, see Saving and exporting files overview.

To create a custom color library by exporting colors:

1

Click the triangle in the upper right corner of the Swatches panel to display the Options pop-up menu, and choose Export.

2

In the Export Colors dialog box, select the colors you want to export. Shift-click or Control-click to select more than one color.

3

Click OK.

4

In the Create Color Library dialog box, type a Library name and then type a file name. Enter the number of rows and columns and any notes.

5

Click Browse (Windows) or Save As (Macintosh) and specify the folder where the colors will be stored.

FreeHand stores color libraries in the Colors folder in the FreeHand 10/English folder as the default destination.
