maah Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Apparent bug in Publisher (2.4.2 on mac) swatches panel: when changing the spot color to another the white dot from the swatch disappears (not a spot color anymore) Here’s how you can reproduce the bug: 1) add a global color 2) toggle “Spot” check-box before pressing “Add” 3) double-click on the new swatch to edit it 4) all works fine if you edit using sliders but try selecting “Swatches” and… 5) select “PANTONE color bridge coated” before selecting one of the Pantones as a new colour for the global one 6) the white dot (spot color status) from the swatch disappears Interestingly changing the colour to any of the Formula Guide Pantones doesn't remove the white dot from swatch. Also would be nice if one could turn an existing swatch into a spot colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pantone® Formula Guide libraries are Spot Colour libraries hence the white dot is maintained when selecting a colour from this library...
