You can use
the Gradient
and Color
panels to
define a
two-color
gradient.

Double-clicking the swatch in the
Swatches panel opens the Gradient
Options dialog box, where you can
name or edit the swatch.

The Layers panel lets you manage objects
in complex documents.

To add the gradient to
the Swatches panel,
choose New Gradient
Swatch from the
Swatches panel menu,
or drag the swatch icon
from the Gradient panel
into the Swatches panel
(shown here).

Working with layers

Each object sits on a layer inside

your document. By default, every

file has one layer, but you can add

more layers in the Layers panel

(Window > Layers). For example, in

a complex publication, you may want

four separate layers for images, text

frames, background artwork, and

interactive elements. To create a new

layer, choose New Layer from the

Layers panel menu.
When you select an object with the

Selection tool, a square selection icon

appears highlighted on the far right

of the object’s current layer in the

Layers panel. Drag the icon to move

the selected object to a different layer.
When you click the triangle next

to the layer name, the Layers panel

reveals a list of all objects on that

layer. To move an object—for

example, to position it above or

below other objects on the same

layer, or to move it to a different

layer—drag it up or down within the

Layers panel. This technique also lets

you move objects in or out of groups.
Clicking in the two columns along

the left side of the Layers panel lets

you hide/show or lock/unlock each

object or layer. Double-click a layer

to see more layer options.

New color swatches

By default, the Swatches panel con-

tains color swatches for the four

process colors, plus process-color

equivalents of red, green, and blue.

To add a new color swatch, choose

New Color Swatch from the panel

menu, and then choose Process or

Spot from the Color Type pop-

up menu. You can choose preset

libraries of colors, such as Pantone®

Solid Coated, from the Color Mode

pop-up menu.
You can also create unnamed colors

with the Color panel. You can then

add those colors to the Swatches

panel by choosing either Add To

Swatches from the Color panel menu

or Add Unnamed Colors from the

Swatches panel menu.
Adobe Kuler™ is a web-hosted appli-

cation for generating color themes.

as well as create and edit your own
