Convert palette to spot colors


Recommended Posts

In Illustrator I can convert a whole palette to Pantone/spot color. Is there a way to do the same in Affinity Designer? The only option I have found to convert the whole image palette to spot color is to convert each color separately, which is very time consuming.

Thank you.

Hi Sdrum :)

Unfortunately there's not currently an option to convert a whole palette to be spot colours currently, each colour has to be done individually. I'll move this thread to feature requests for our devs to consider adding in a future update!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

How can you convert ANY existing colour into a Spot colour? Seems to me you can only set an existing colour to become Overprint.  Spot colours need to be set up at the start as Global colours - unless I've (hopefully) missed something.

Can't you just use the Colour Picker from the window which pops up when you select Add Global Colour and then just choose a colour you already have in the document? You just check the Spot checkbox. Or am I missing something?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
