Making, Using, and Editing Palettes
To display the job palette
Click View > Job Palette > Show Job Palette to open the job palette which will be displayed at
the bottom of the work surface. The Job Palette contains swatches for vinyls, spot foils, process
foils, and GerberColor Spectratone foils that are used in the job. Swatches within the color type
display from left to right (or top to bottom if the palette is vertically docked) in a back to front
Z-order. The swatch order is updated if the Z-order is changed in the job.
Color swatches are labeled as follows:
♦ Vinyl – dot in upper left corner
♦ Spot foil – dot in lower right corner
♦ Spectratone – dot in upper right corner
♦ Process foil – no dot
Note: As you add to or remove vinyl or foil colors from your job the job palette automatically
updates. The two exceptions are: when entering text in TOWS – the palette is updated upon the
next carriage return, or when digitizing – the palette is updated when a shape is ended.
Rearranging colors in a palette
You can arrange the order of foils, vinyls, or process colors in a palette on the Composer work
surface. Click the foil or vinyl swatch in the palette and drag it to a new location. Release the
cursor to drop the swatch in a new location. The scroll arrows at either end of the palette remain
active to allow you to scroll to sections of the palette not currently visible.
When arranging palette colors the clear swatch is always first, even if you attempt to move it to
a new location. After arranging the palette, the new order is saved and retained even when you
close Composer.
Tip: Tip: You can also rearrange foil and vinyl swatches in PALman. Click Start > Programs >
GSP OMEGA > PALman to open the Palette Manager dialog box where you can rearrange the
color swatch order by dragging and dropping them or by right-clicking a vinyl and choosing one
of the sort choices:
• Sort by RGB
• Sort by name (alphabetically)
• Sort by last saved order
• Sort by foil type
