Brightening and dulling colors

Using the Colors Xtras, you can brighten colors or dull them in a single step. To more precisely control colors, use the Color Control Xtra (see Controlling color values). The Lighten, Darken, Saturate, and Desaturate Colors Xtras do not affect spot colors.

To brighten or dull colors:

1

Select an object.

2

Choose Xtras > Colors and then choose an option:

Lighten Colors makes the color lighter.

Darken Colors makes the color darker.

Saturate Colors makes the color brighter.

Desaturate Colors dulls the color.

The effect increases each time you apply the Xtra until the maximum effect is reached.
