Artist's Comments

Finally got time to make another color wheel for myself and thought I'd share with y'all. This was grueling.

Same instructions as the last two ( [link] and [link] ). This swatches palette is 20 blocks wide. Make sure you have a clear swatches palette or replace your existing one with this .aco file (remember to save the ones you were using if you haven't already), and then resize the swatches palette so that it is 20 squares wide and it will look like this. Enjoy, and let me know what you think / if you want more / suggestions for another!

You know... I have never used the swatches. What exactly is their purpose? ^^;

haha, really?!
They're basically saved color. Its so that you don't need to remember what color you were just using, its saved in the swatches palette, or you can make whole color schemes for whatever you're working on and have them sitting right there. All you have to do is click on a little square to grab the color.

A lot of professional illustration jobs that are going to print will require you to have less than a total ink count, meaning that if you can add up all of the CMYK values in any pixel on your piece and its over that amount it will either not print properly or they will charge you more. This is why picking color off of the regular PS color map is a bad idea, because a lot of the time it has way too much of everything in it. For instance, you can pick a black that has 100% cyan, magenta and yellow in it besides black, which is totally un neccessary. But you can be safe and make swatches that you know only have so much tone and color in them!

That... is kind of confusing. :faint: I mean, I understand the principle behind it, and why you'd want to do it, but I guess my brain just can't figure out HOW you'd actually make it, lol. And my process is always so half-hazard, I can't iagine trying to stick to a set number of colors! :XD:
