Join Claudia McCue for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating tints, part of InDesign for the In-House Designer.
- If you have sort of a color theme for a document,…on some pages you might want to have…the full strength swatch on some pages you might want…a lighter version of the swatch called a tint.…So here's one where you can do that.…Click on this large blue rectangle on the back.…Go to the swatches panel and to find that swatch…you'll have to hit this little arrow to the left…of color group one and there it is.…See, 98 and so forth and so on.…So if I wanted to make this a lighter version of this,…I could come up to the top of the swatches panel,…click on that little arrow,…and that shows me the slider…and then I can drag the tint slider down.…
But what if I'm doing that over and over again…on a large document?…I'm going to get really tired of coming up here…and trying to establish that same value of a tint.…If you're going to be doing that,…it makes more sense to create a tint of the color…that you can use all the time.…So if you've been playing along,…drag that slider back up to 100%…and then click an empty space so that we don't affect…
