Load swatches from predefined custom color libraries

You can select from a range of color libraries—including the PANTONE Process Color System, Toyo™ Ink Electronic Color Finder™ 1050, the Focoltone® color system, the Trumatch™ color swatch system, the DIC Process Color Note, and libraries created especially for web use. Before using swatches from a color matching system, consult with your prepress service providers to determine which ones they support.

  1. Choose New Color Swatch from the Swatches panel menu.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Choose the library file from the Color Mode list.

    • Choose Other Library from the Color Mode list, locate the library file, and then click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).

  3. Select one or more swatches from the library, and click Add. (To exit the dialog box without adding swatches, click OK.)
  4. When you are done adding swatches, click Done.
