Color replacement allows you to replace colors in the output raster. It works best with solid colors and uniform tints.

You can enter color tint values to be replaced or can select the original color to replace with the eye dropper. You can then enter a color replacement tint value, sample replacement color with the eye dropper, or replace using an existing Fiery spot color. The order of color replacements may be changed, and individual replacements can be shown or hidden with the eye icon.

You can zoom in to an area on the image down to a pixel for color replacement.

To use the Color Replacement feature, in the Image Preview pane, click and move the eye dropper (color picker icon ) over the pixel of the original color in the image, and then move the eye dropper (replacement picker icon ) over the pixel of the replacement color. The large square defines the area that is currently being viewed, while the smaller square is the pixel. Optionally, you can click the spot color replacement icon ( to open the spot color library on the Fiery server and choose a spot color to use for the replacement color. Click Apply to save the changes.

Page () and Local () icons show the type of color correction made. The page and local edits are differentiated by a solid line or a dashed line. When an entry is modified, the check box, if applied, is removed because the entry is valid only for the current page. You can choose to apply the local color replacement and page color replacement to all pages by selecting the corresponding All Pages check box.

You can save page color curves or page color replacements as a preset, or you can save both page color curves and page color replacements as a preset, and then apply color replacement through Command WorkStation, Fiery Hot Folders, or Fiery Driver with Job Properties.

Up to thirty-two color replacements can be applied. The order of color replacements may be changed, and individual replacements can be hidden or deleted. A color that is substituted can be modified later by selecting the color replacements in the Edits pane.

In ImageViewer 4.2 and later, when you apply any color replacement edit, it will be applicable only to the current page, unless you explicitly select the All Pages check box in the Edits pane. The changes are applied during printing of the job.
