Editing colors in grayscale

Normal colors
and linked colors
can be edited in several color models
. Grayscale
is one of these.

To edit a color in grayscale

1. Choose Color Editor from the Utilities menu.

2. Choose the color you want to edit from the menu or drag-and-drop it onto the editor.

3. Right-click on the Color Editor and select Grayscale

The grayscale model
defines shades of gray between white (100%) and black (0%) by setting the amount of white (intensity). This color model is the easiest to use when creating black-and-white illustrations.

The value can be altered by dragging the marker on the bar, or entering a value into the Intensity field. 3D editing is not available for this color model.

The value can be edited in one of two units, percentages (0% to 100%) or values (0 to 255). Which is used is set by the Color Units setting, see Changing the color units. If you need to enter a value in the other format, you can force the units by typing (for example) "25%" (for a percentage) or "25d" (for 0 to 255 value).
