They say sharing is caring. It’s true in life and in the world of graphic design. For example, if you care enough to use consistent colors across InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, you need to share your swatches. And in the latest InDesign Secrets video at lynda.com, Anne-Marie Concepción shows how to do that, by exporting swatches from InDesign and bringing them into Illustrator and Photoshop.
In the video, Anne-Marie shows how to quickly copy a single swatch, all swatches, or a specific subset of swatches across documents and applications. Check it out in the InDesign Secrets video series at lynda.com.
