Using the eye-dropper to pick colors
Instead of selecting hues and shades on the Color Editor
you can instead pick a color from any part of the document or any part of the computer screen?even
from other windows and programs.
To do this just click and drag on the eye dropper icon. As you drag you see the color editor continuously
picks up the color under the eye dropper. Release the mouse button when you have the desired color.
This is an easy and quick way to use the same color again or copy colors from photos or from one
object to another.
If the object under the mouse pointer is complex (eg. has transparency applied) and the color cannot be
determined, screen RGB color is applied.
The color sampler shows a small popup at the
mouse pointer which indicates the color that is
being sampled at that point. This will either be the
palette color name, the name of a named color, or
the color model and color value.
Advanced color operations
Click the Show advanced options
icon on the Color Editor to reveal the lower part of the dialog that
provides more options.
No fill color
Make named color local to Frame/Layer
Rename named color
HSV color values
RGB hex value
Color model (HSV, RGB or grayscale)
Color type: See Creating a Tint, Shade or Linked color
Here you can enter precise RGB (or HSV) color values. The most common requirement for web
graphics is to enter a hex RGB color. The H, S and V fields allow you to specify the color as HSV (hue
saturation value) values in percent. In the #
field you can enter RGB value in hexadecimal numbers (0-F).
Also a 'No fill color' button and a help button is available here.
