Deleting a Swatch

April 30, 2004 12:22 PM

Adobe 1.5.2 (Mac OS 9x). Deleting a swatch... I have an RGB document with a single full-color image and two spots (Blue and Black). I'm converting the document to CMYK for print: I've swapped out the RGB JPG for a CMYK TIF, the Black swatch is fine, and now I want to delete the Blue (RGB) swatch and do a global replace for the Blue (CMYK). But InDesign isn't allowing me to delete it, nor to modify.

Suggestions? Adobe doesn't support 1.5.2 any longer, and their online help has been purged of relevant documents.

Response by poster: I'm completely befuddled: I've done this all the time... I create in RGB so that the PDFs I export for my clients are screen-friendly. Then I swap out the images, and change the swatchs to CMYK. I've never had a problem with the swatches refusing to be deleted.

So I'm wondering what it is that I'm doing which is "impossible" to do?

Adobe what? Adobe makes a ton of different products, and has for years, and none of them that I'm aware of were called just "Adobe." It'll be easier to research your question if you identify the software the question is about.

Response by poster: Doh.

Adobe InDesign 1.5.2.

Sorry Majick. Brain hiccup.
