Copying colors by dragging

---

You can copy colors from a palette by dragging, in two ways:

• Dragging colors between palettes

• Dragging colors within a palette.

The procedure to follow is given below:

1. If required, open the color model containing the palette you wish to copy colors from, as described in Opening a color reference model.

2. Select the palette wells containing the colors you wish to copy:

• To select one color, simply click on it. The selected color is highlighted to indicate it has been selected:

• To select more than one color, hold down the Shift key and click on each color you want to select.

• To select a whole row of colors, double-click on any color in the row. All the colors in that row are also highlighted.

Note: You can use the Shift key to modify your selection:

• To deselect a color, hold down the Shift key and click on the color to be deselected.

• To deselect a whole row, hold down the Shift key and double-click on any color in the row to be deselected.

3. Use the left mouse button to drag the selected colors to their new location and 'drop' them into the new palette well by releasing the mouse button.

If you are copying colors within a palette, hold down the Ctrl key and drag.

• If you drop the colors over any palette wells that already contain a color, the existing colors in the palette well are replaced with the incoming colors. However, all the other attributes of the original palette well are preserved.

• If you drop the colors over empty palette wells, all the attributes of the copied palette well are also pasted into the empty palette well.
