In addition to all the other wonderful ways we've explored selecting colors in this chapter, we can select colors from references that we've loaded into the Sub View palette as well. This is easy, convenient, and a real time saver for those working on comics where the same colors are used for characters or environments over and over.
Follow these steps to import an image into the sub view palette and then select colors from it:
-
Locate the Sub View palette. It is usually nested with the Navigator. If it cannot be located in the interface, go to the File Menu and click on Window - Sub View to bring it up.
-
In the bottom-right corner of the palette, click on the Import icon.
-
Locate your reference image and click on it to select it, then click on the Open button to complete the import.
-
Your image will now be visible...
