Hi, is there a way to save a preset for the 'edit colours' tool? I have many leaves I am trying to recolour (after tracing them to vector from hand painted water colour) I dont want to keep having to add the colour pallete from libraries, then edit colours etc etc.... actions dont seem to work in illustrator anymore?

Unfortunately you cannot save the settings.

You could rpepare a document template that already has your desired color palette as document swatches. In the simplified interface for recolor artwork you can also select document swatches as a recolor palette.

Thanks Monika. I had a feeling that was the case 😞 And actions? do they work ?

Kind regards, Dani

Actions don't work in there either.

If you want to redefine a specific set of colors with a specific set of other colors in the same way, then maybe you can do that with an action outside of recolor artwork, but then it will not adjust the in-between colors or do color reduction or anything like that. So if you can describe the job in a very precise way, then maybe someone has an idea to have it automated.
