Changing the color using the Enfocus Inspector

Select the text or line-art objects of which you want to change the color (using

).

Tip: If you want to select text or objects with the same color, you may better use the Select Similar Objects tool

.

Display the Enfocus Inspector.

See Opening the Enfocus Inspector dialog

Click the Fill and Stroke

category and make sure Fill

or Stroke

are selected (depending on what you want to change).

The Enfocus Inspector displays the current color settings of the selected objects.

To change the color of the selected object(s), in the Fill Color or Stroke Color category, do one of the following:

To change the color within the same color space (for example CMYK), move the slider of the respective color to the left or to the right or type a percentage in the text box.
To change the color to another color space (Gray, RGB, CMYK, spot color), you have the following options:
- You can convert the color to another color space. This means that the color is converted based on the Color Management setttings (profiles) defined in the Preferences.
  
  Note: Converting a color based on specific color profiles can be done in the Color Convert window (see Converting a color using the Enfocus Convert Color Panel).
  
  To convert the color to another color space
  1. In the Actions drop-down menu, click the desired option:
    - Convert to Gray (using Preferences)
    - Convert to RGB (using Preferences)
    - Convert to CMYK (using Preferences)
    - Convert to Spot Color (using Preferences)
  2. If necessary, move the sliders to the left or to the right or type the percentage in the text box.
- You can map the color to another color space. This means that there is no intermediate color space or color management used; the color values are mapped right away, without losing any data. This is only possible for color spaces for which mapping rules exist. For example, gray/calibrated gray can be mapped to CMYK or a spot color, whereas RGB can't be mapped to another color space.
  To map the color to another color space
  1. In the Actions drop-down menu, click the desired option:
    - Map to Gray
    - Map to CMYK
    - Map to Spot Color
      
      Note:
      
      The available options depend on the color space of the selected object(s).
      
      If you want to map gray to CMYK, you can use sliders to choose the preferred CMYK values (the mapping assumes 100% gray).
  2. If necessary, move the sliders to the left or to the right or type the percentage in the text box.
- You can convert the color using the Enfocus Convert Color panel.
  
  Refer to Converting a color using the Enfocus Convert Color Panel.
- You can convert the color to a color you select from the User Swatches.
  To do so
  1. In the Actions drop-down menu, click Color Picker.
  2. Select a color from the user swatches.
  3. Click OK.

To change the fill attributes, in the Fill subcategory:

Select the appropriate button if applicable:
- Do not use a fill
- Use a solid fill color
- Use a gradient fill color
If you have chosen to fill a polygon or loop select Fill or EOfill.
Refer to Fill attributes: Fill and EOfill.

To change the stroke attributes, in the Stroke subcategory:

Select the appropriate button if applicable:
- Do not use a stroke
- Use a solid stroke color
- Use a gradient stroke color

Move the ink/tint/color slider(s) as required.
Select an ICC Profile and/or a color rendering intent as required.
Specify the Stroke weight (i.e. the thickness of a stroke, usually expressed in points).

Switch to the Stroke Details subcategory:

Select a Cap style and a Join style.
The cap style determines the appearance of the stroke at the end of a path.

The join style determines the appearance of the stroke at the corner points of a path.

Cap style		Join style
Icon	Meaning	Icon	Meaning
	Butt cap		Miter join
	Round cap		Round join
	Projecting cap		Bevel join

If you have selected a miter join style , set the Miter Limit (Refer to Stroke attributes: Miter limit).
In the Stroke Adjustment drop-down menu:
- To enable stroke adjustment, select On.
  With stroke adjustment enabled, all vertical and horizontal lines are rounded to an integer number of pixel thickness to give them the appearance of the same weight.
- To enable automatic stroke adjustment, select Default.
  When several strokes with the same line weight are rendered at low resolution, their rasterization may result in lines of different widths in device pixels (with a difference of one pixel at the most). This effect depends on how the exact position in real numbers of these strokes intersects with the device pixel grid. For a better visual result, automatic stroke adjustment can be enabled. This will automatically counteract the rasterization effects where needed, by slightly changing the line weight and coordinates, thus producing lines of uniform thickness in device pixels.
- To disable stroke adjustment, select Off.
  Vertical and horizontal lines are not adjusted. When rendered at low resolution, you may see small differences in width.
To make the line dashed
1. Click the Dashed Line button .
2. Specify the length of the dashes in the On boxes.
3. Specify the gaps (space) between the dashes in the Off boxes.
4. If necessary, move the dashes by specifying a Phase. The phase indicates where the dash pattern should begin. For example, in the example below:
  - without phase, the first dash has a length of 5.0 (first value in the On field)
  - with phase, the first dash has a length of 3.0 (first value in the On field minus the value specified for the phase)
The unit depends on the value set in the Preferences.
