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.

  • Spot Pro color preview pane

    For the selected spot color, a preview is shown for the original and converted spot color.

    The gamut warning and ∆E are also shown for the selected spot color.

    The original and converted L*a*b* values are computed based on the selected output profile.

    The separation values for the selected spot color are displayed.

    To edit a spot color, click the Edit icon () to open the Spot Pro Editor window.

    Select one or multiple spot colors and click the Duplicate icon () to open the Spot Pro Duplicate window. The duplicated spot colors can be saved to an entirely new group where you can specify a new group name or append them to an existing custom group.

  • Spot Pro color editor pane

    You can edit the selected spot color. The spot color can be edited by modifying the L*a*b* values, LCH values, device separation based on the selected output profile, and variations.
