Hello,

 

I have a print with many shapes, paths, live paints etc. The print has around 9 colours and I rechecked using recolour tool and changed them all to the exact colours. Now I need to select all the same colours and group them. But whether I use select same or magic wand the same colours arent selected. Please help!

    Select > Same does not select parts inside a live paint group.

     

    Also: when using Recolor artwork, you have to take care that the recoloring really using the exact same color for all the other colors you remap. It's a very tiny button, but it's important.

    Thank you for your reply. I have done the exact colour while recolouring . So how do I select same colours that are in live paint to group? so what's the alternative solution?

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
