Adobe Illustrator CS5 One-on-One

11. Swap out the blue for gold. Double-click the swatch that cor-

responds to the undesired color to bring up the Swatch Options

dialog box. Change the color to a nice cosmic gold by setting

the CMYK values (shown in Figure 11-29) to C: 0, M: 35. Y:

100. and K: 0. Click OK, and watch both the swatch and any

area that had been fi lled with that exact blue (formerly known,

in my case, as Tracing 7) turn a nice rich gold, as you can see

in Figure 11-29.

Select another problematic color region. Modifying global

swatches is a great way to get rid of or edit away all occur-

rences of colors that you don’t like, but what if you wanted to

change only some instances of a color rather than all of them.

Say we wanted to get rid of some of those greenish blotches

in our astronaut’s face. Eyedropper the greenish brown area

shown in Figure 11-30. I can see that, in my case, I’ve selected

Tracing 15, but I can’t immediately tell where else in the image

Tracing 15 might be.

CP: I’m not sure I understand the ‘ev-

erywhere’?

CP: only fyi -- my fi rst time through this

exercise, after selecting the eyedropper

tool, Illustrator crashed. It was okay the

second time.
