- [Voiceover] Alright, now we're gonna try something…a little more elaborate.…We're gonna recolor the entire emoji,…including his eyebrows, his face, his mouth, and so forth;…And we're gonna do so inside that Lab color wheel…that we saw in the previous chapter.…So I'll go ahead and press Control+0,…or Command+0 on a Mac, to zoom out.…And then I'll zoom in on this guy in the lower left corner…and I'll marquee him using the black arrow tool,…taking care to make sure I get all of the path outlines.…Now go ahead and click on that recolor artwork icon,…once again, up here in the control panel,…and notice that the command goes ahead…and hides the anchor points,…so we can again better see what we're doing.…
And now, just to save screen real estate,…I will once again hide the color group area,…over there on the left hand side.…And instead of editing the colors of each and every row,…because you can see, in total, there are 13 of them,…I'm gonna go ahead and click the edit button up here…in order to switch to my Lab color wheel.…
