Color, opacity, and drop shadows
QuarkXPress lets you create custom colors, choose colors from several standardized color
matching systems, and edit colors. You can apply both color and shade to text and pictures.
You can also control the opacity of text in the same way you control its color. You can
apply drop shadows to both items and text.
Working with colors
Some colors are automatically included in the Colors palette. To use other colors, you'll
need to create colors or edit existing colors using the Colors dialog box, which allows you
to create colors using color wheels, numeric fields, or color matching systems.
The Colors palette
You can use the Colors palette (Window > Colors) to create, edit, duplicate, and mange
project colors. The palette also allows you to control overprint and knockout settings.
The Colors palette lets you create, edit, and delete colors.
The Colors dialog box
You can use the Colors dialog box (Edit > Colors) to create, edit, duplicate, delete, and
append colors.
