First Illustrator workshop of the year

...was today! I can safely say that what I learned in that session doubled my knowledge of Illustrator. I also know now, how little time you have to spend selecting colour harmonies when you use the colour guide. I'ts kind of like ebay,

"You enjoyed magenta, You might like...!"

and the colour wheel that changes your colours in real time! Yeaboi.

Really I just wanted to do this post as a bit of a reminder to myself about a limitation I came across today in the workshop. Which is as follows:

When you save a custom swatch as an "ASE" file, (enabling you to use the swatch in other Adobe suite programmes) A message box comes up if you have used tints saying:

"Swatches containing tints/ gradients are not exchangeable between programmes."

Well, they are just the tints and gradients wont show up in the other programme... Bummer.

Anyway that's my little rant over with. :)
