The Spot Pro workspace
The main window displays a list of spot color groups and a list of named spot colors within each group. When a named spot color is selected, a preview of the spot color is shown.
The Spot Pro main window includes the following areas:
-
Spot Pro group pane
The order of the spot color groups defines the search order for the spot color on the Fiery server.
Spot Pro color groups cannot be auto-sorted by name, type, or lock-status.
The latest group is added on the top (or listed first) of the list.
By default, the Fiery server searches for a color from the top of the list and will apply the first matching named spot color definition to the job. You may override this search setting on a job-by-job basis, by selecting a different group in the Job Properties window.
Each spot group can be moved up or down manually on the list to change the color search sequence.
You may right-click the group name and select Move up or Move down to move one step at a time or select Move top or Move bottom to move the group name to the top or bottom of the list which changes the search order.
-
Spot Pro colors pane
The column width can be adjusted.
The newest color will be added to the top (or listed first) of the list.
You may right-click the spot color name and select Move up or Move down to move one step at a time or select Move top or Move bottom to move the spot color to the top or bottom of the list which changes the search order.
