In this InDesign how-to video, Bart Van de Wiele shows us an easy way to create colors using the smarter sliders in the Swatches panel. After creating a new color swatch, he demonstrates a better way to swap out colors—one that doesn’t involve having to delete a color in the process.
This video is an excerpt from Bart’s “New InDesign Features You Should Be Using Now” session at CreativePro Week.
