This palette action is an automatic way of separating brightly coloured designs to tonal 8 layers. You can download the palette from AVA Assist to use whenever it's needed.

We think this will particularly useful for textile or fashion designs.  The palette runs a number of automated tasks designed to give you a good starting point for you to then refine the separation.  To use the palette follow the steps below and take a look at the movie:

• Open the design you want to separate.

• Click the palette to start the automation and take a look at the results.

• If you want to refine the separation further, you could gamma the layers and tweak their colour.  You can also go back in your History to where it says 'Separate Colour Make' and open up the Advanced Colour window and adjust the separation settings, then Fix when you are happy with the separation.
