Animate Pro 2 User Guide 224 When you want to see through painted drawings, but still see the outlines, you can create a clone palette where you set a lower alpha value on all of the filling colours. This trick can be handy when setting pivot points on cut-out puppets. Cloning a Colour Swatch (PRO) In Animate Pro, you can copy a selected colour swatch and paste it as a clone. To clone a colour swatch: 1. In the Colour view, select the colour swatch you want to clone. 2. In the Colour View menu, select Colours > Copy. You can also use the default keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[C] (Windows) or []+[C] (Mac OS X). 3. In the Colour view, select the colour palette you want to paste the clone into, or create a new palette. 4. In the Colour View menu, select Colours > Paste as Clone. The cloned colour swatch appears in the palette. Since it produces a clone colour swatch, it is impossible to use the Paste as Clone command in the same palette as you copied the original colour swatch from. If you try to do it, a Message dialog box will open as a reminder. Mixing the Colours If you want to modify a series of colour at once to blend a tint in them or offset their RGBA values, you can use the Tint panel. The Tint panel is quite useful when creating palette styles such as night and day styles. To mix colours: 1. In the palette list, select the palette to offset or blend colours in it. 2. In the Colour View menu, select Palettes > Tint Panel.

The Tint Offset/Blend panel opens. Chapter 5: Adding Colour Palettes 3. Select one or more colours to be modified in the colour list. You can select all your colours by pressing [Ctrl]+[A] (Windows) or []+[A] (Mac OS X). 4. Check the Preview option. 225
