Hi Caroline,

Glad you like the video.

I tried my best to get as much into a short tutorial as possible. And there’s so much to love about Live Color, it was not easy.

All my best,

Jeff

This is the simpliest and clearest description yet on how to use the live colour. Want to tuck this video in my pocket.

Hi Dersu,

Which Pantone Library did you use? Depending on the original colors, if you’re using one of the Spot Libraries, you’re right, the results may not be accurate at all. Try Pantone Color Bridge CMYK PC. You may have better luck.

And depending on what desktop printer you’re using, results can vary vastly.

All my best,

Jeff

Hi Dave,

Ive done that last trick you showed a few times and then when I actually went to the pantone book and matched it to what I printed out, they weren’t even close. Is there another setting that I need to make sure is active? Thanks for the other tips!

Hi Dave,

I’m not sure I would use Live Color for this.

It might be easier to select one object that is the color that you wish to change. Go under the Select menu>Select Same>Fill Color (or Stroke Color). Then just choose you replacement Swatch from the Swatches panel.

Best,

Jeff

Hi Sigudur,

Glad you liked it.

The CMYK > Spot trick is a real timesaver.

Best,

Jeff
