Gigiga Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 In the swatches window I can add the information "spot" and/or "overprint" to global colors. So far so good. But how can I add "spot" to a color later? If I want a (spot) color to also overprint, I can do that in the right click menu. But vise versa it is not possible? In the edit view I can just choose to change the color itself but not add the attribute "spot". Coming from InDesign it is the other way round. Overprint is something you added as an attribute to a fill or an outline an which was just a click away, I wonder if Publisher does something similar to the spot option for a color? I hope it is clear what I mean... (german version, the checked box translates to overprint outline) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kai2 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Also this problem: How can I change a spot color to 4c-color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Gigiga, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently there's no way to set an existing colour as a spot colour.

Will the ability to change an existing colour from spot to global/cmyk and vice versa be added in a future update? This does seem a restriction, as it stands at the moment. Coming from InDesign it is easy to change the colours between Spot/cmyk, very useful if someone has added lots of spot colours to a job whilst they are designing it, and you need to change those to cmyk to stop them from outputting to separate plates. Will the ability to show the overprint in Publisher be added at some stage? Gigiga and Rich313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to have that in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
