COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
Paste Gradient: Use this option to paste the copied gradient onto the •
selected item.
Paste Color Stops: Use this option to paste the copied color stops onto the •
existing gradient in the selected item.
Overprint Gradient: Use this option to set the overprint option, to prevent •
knockout.
The mixed gradient color you have created will appear on the Colors palette, as a
background color called Mixed Colors, when the item the color is applied to is
selected. You can change the shade and opacity of all of the colors in the gradient at
one time using the Colors palette.
Editing a color
To edit an existing color, choose Edit > Colors, select the color you want to edit in
the Colors list, then click Edit to display the Edit Color dialog box. You can also
double-click the color you want to edit in the Colors list to display the Edit Color
dialog box.
Edit Color dialog box
Editing of the Colors
Prior to QuarkXPress 2019 (v15.1), if the user wants to edit the color, he has to
invoke the contextual menu on the selected color and select the option Edit and
modify the color, or go to edit menu, select the colors, and then select the edit and
modify the color. It was really painful for the user to perform multiple steps. To
reduce the time-consuming effort to modify the colors, in QuarkXPress 2019
(v15.1), we are providing the option (double-click) on selected color to invoke the
edit color dialog and the user can simply edit the color on the go.
