Changing the colors in bitmap fills

You can create a contone or duotone bitmap fill by applying colors to the fill handles. You can also use the Transparency Tool Transparency Type options to alter the color of objects underneath the filled object.

To change the colors of a bitmap fill

1. Choose the Fill Tool.

2. Click on a fill handle to select it

3. Click on a color on the Color Line.

Tips

In step 3, you can also apply the color from the Color Gallery. Select a color and click Apply.

You can also drag-and-drop colors onto the fill handles.

You must select a fill handle before applying color. Otherwise you create a flat fill.

To return a bitmap fill to its original colors, drag the 'no color' patch off the Color Line onto each of the fill handles.

If you have several objects selected, you can select all fill handles of a particular type (for example all center handles) by CTRL+Shift-clicking on one of the handles. Use Shift-click to deselect a handle or select an unselected handle.
