RGB to CMYK, changing all black drawing and text to different color...simply

[johnc1724128]

I have 2 questions regarding color. 1st what is the simplest way to convert an RGB to CMYK...needed for T shirt printers? 2nd..in there a simple way to change anything black to a different color with a single click. I have a hand drawn shape with a "spray painted" shape in the center, plus text around the shape. I've grouped the drawing and believe I've flattened the grouped artwork. I'd like to be able to change what I see as black to different colors to be able to contrast with a T shirt color. I'm a novice so I need simple instructions. thanks

To change document color mode: File > Document color mode > CMYK

To change the color of objects: select them and use either: the swatches panel or the color panel.

If all black needs to be the same other color: use Edit > Edit colors > Recolor artwork.

You can find detailed instructions with screenshots in the documentation.

Select the coloured item you wish to change eg. black stroke or black fill then go to select menu > select same fill/stroke. This will select ALL the same coloured strokes (or fills). Then simply choose new colour swatch.
