【Lynda高精度字幕由CGSUB.COM独家发布】 - [Voiceover] In this movie I'll show you
how to constrain the colors in a custom
color group to those inside of a given swatch library.
And the reason you might need to do this
is you have client or an art director
that wants you to stay inside a certain group
of corporate colors or they might be this year's
latest fashion colors, you never know.
But before we go any farther,
let me define the difference between
a color group and a swatch library.
By returning to the Swatches panel
and then clicking on the Library
icon in the bottom right corner of the panel,
and I'm going to choose Earthtone.
And I want you to notice here,
and I'll go ahead and make this panel
a little bigger and I'll switch
to the medium thumbnail view.
Just so that we can see our swatches a little better.
And notice that the first color group is called:
Earthtone One, then we've got Earthtone Two,
all the way down to Earthtone 10.
And I'm not clicking on any of them
because I don't want to add them to my Swatches panel.
I just want you to note that these groups
contain anywhere from four to six swatches.
The swatch library that we're currently seeing includes,
every single swatch in all 10 of those groups.
So that's a relatively rich array of colors.
So let's say we want to stick with those earth tones,
I'll go ahead and close this panel,
and then I'll switch over to the Color Guide panel
and notice the icon in it's bottom left corner
limits a color group to the colors in a swatch library.
So first what you want to do, by the way,
is here inside the Swatches panel
make sure that the Seafarer colors are active.
So we want to make sure we have the right group.
And then return to the Color Guide panel,
and click on this icon right there and choose Earthtone.
This time you will not bring up the Earthtone panel,
instead you will limit the colors that are available
to you here inside the Color Guide panel.
Alright now let's say we want it more formal.
And so we want to actually create a color group
that's limited to those earth tones.
Then you want o click on a circular Edit Colors
icon at the bottom of the panel.
So in other words,
this icon is available at bottom of both
the Color Guide and the Swatches panel.
Alright so I'll go ahead and click on it
to bring up this dialog box.
Notice, by the way, that we're seeing ourselves
limited to certain colors here inside the preview.
And that you can change your mind
by clicking on this icon right here
and I can even change it to None.
So we have no constraints at all.
However, I want to stick to those earth tone swatches.
So I'll go ahead and select that option.
And I'm going to take care to make sure
that I unlink my colors before I drag any one of them.
So we'll go ahead and click that Unlink icon,
and then I'll drag this guy around.
Now I want you to notice the difference here.
Notice how we're seeing a dark purple inside of that circle,
and we're seeing a lighter purple around it.
This preview isn't always accurate,
because it's trying to show you one level of brightness.
Whereas these swatches right here are occurring
at many different levels of brightness.
And so I need to drag this guy just in ever so slightly,
in order for him to match the color around.
Now notice that even though these colors are very
different over here on the left hand side from each other,
and that we're seeing a shade of green
as indicated by these HSB values;
whereas this guy is a shade of blue
with very different different HSB values.
That is super misleading.
Because notice, if I go ahead and name this group.
And I'll just call it "Earthtones" let's say.
And then click on the little folder icon.
Now I'll twirl this guy open
and notice that the two colors
are utterly, and completely identical.
They have the very same CMYK values.
And that's obviously not what I want,
because it wouldn't do me any good.
So, one option would be to get Remove Color tool,
and click on that guy to get rid of it.
But that's not what I'm going to do.
And remember you don't have an Undo
so you gotta be careful.
I'm going to turn that tool off.
And I'm going to drag this guy up and over here.
And notice that still doesn't match the color around it.
And so I'm going take the brightness value
down here at the bottom of the dialog box,
up just a little bit in order to make
it match the colors in the preview.
Now we want to update the color group
by clicking on the Hard Drive icon,
and you will see that we now have different values,
which of course is what we want.
And so then go ahead and click OK
in order to accept that change.
Now I'll return to the Swatches panel,
and I'll make it even taller right here
and I'll select my new Earthtones group.
And then I'll return to the Color Guide panel.
I'll click on one of these red shapes to make them active,
and then I'll click on this top left swatch
in order to set it as a base color.
Now I'll click on this background rectangle
on the right hand side of the document.
And I'll change it to this shade of green let's say,
only maybe a little lighter.
And remember that you may have to click more than once.
And then I'll select this blue rectangle
in the background on the left hand side
and I'll set it to this kind of darkish, purplish gray.
Maybe a little darker still.
And then I'll click this busy group of shapes right here,
and I'll set it this second to brightest color,
in the 3rd row.
And if that doesn't take the first time you click,
just click again.
And then I'll press Control + Shift + A
or Command + Shift + A on the Mac
to deselect my artwork.
And that friends is how you limit the colors
inside of a custom color group
to those found inside of a specific
swatch library here inside Illustrator.
