A way to determine where spot colors...

Hi,

Is there a way to determine where a spot color is being used in your art?

I know in InDesign you can open the separation preview panel and turn off the rest of the colors.?Is there a similar method for Illustrator?

Thanks,

Ed

As of CS4 there is.?What version are you using?

If cs3 or below, save as a pdf and open in acrobat (pro, not reader) to view separations.

CS4 does have a Separations Preview Panel, that's one way.

CS3 and CS4 both have Live Color which will also work.

Thanks Jesseham!?Sorry I should have mentioned I have CS2.?I wish I could do it within Illustrator as Scott suggests, instead of the extra step of Acrobat, but it'll do!

Thanks again,

Ed

Thanks Scott.?I wish I had CS3 or 4, but alas I'm ''stuck'' with 2 at the moment.

Export a PDF and use the seperation preview in Acrobat.
