Editing a Color
Display the Ink panel. You can access the Ink panel by:
Clicking the Show Ink Panel tool in the Line, Fill, or Text Color tool.
Selecting View>Panels>Ink.
Click on the tab corresponding to the type of color you want to change (Font, Line, or Fill).
Double-click the color you want to change.
Select how you want to choose the color from the tab on the top left side of the dialog box. The HLS (Hue, Light, Saturation) option is the default; others are available as well. For example, if you know the exact RGB composition, you can select RGB and edit the color using that option.
Create the color you want to place on the palette. The bottom left of the dialog shows the old color (left side) and new color (right side).
Click OK when you have selected the color you want. Or, click Cancel to close the dialog box and continue using the existing color selection in the palette.
NOTE: Instead of using the Ink panel, you can double-click on any of the color indicators on the Format Toolbar to display the Edit Color dialog box. Then follow steps 3 through 5 above.
Editing a Pattern
Display the Ink panel. You can access the Ink panel by:
Clicking the panel icon in the Line, Fill, or Text Color tool.
Selecting View>Panels>Ink.
Click on the tab corresponding to the type of color you want to change (Font, Line, or Fill).
Double-click the pattern you want to change.
Use the large workspace in the dialog box to create the pattern template.
Use the Width and Height buttons to change the size of the template.
Click the Pencil button to draw in the workspace.
Click the Dropper button to “pick up” a color from the workspace, then use the pencil tool to draw with that color.
Click the Magic Wand button to select sections of alike colors.
A preview in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog displays how the pattern will appear when applied to a larger area.
Use the bottom section of the dialog box to select the colors you want to use to create your pattern. See Editing a Color above for more information.
Click OK when you are finished editing the pattern. Or, click Revert to revert back to the existing pattern on the palette and continue editing, or Cancel to quit editing the pattern without saving changes.
