12. Browse for files using Adobe Bridge
• Adobe® Bridge is a cross-platform
application included with Adobe® Creative
Suite® components
• Adobe bridge helps you to locate,
organize, and browse the assets you need
to create print, web, video, and audio
content.
13. Colors
• RGB-RGB colors are called additive colors
because you create white by adding R, G,
and B together—that is, all light is reflected
back to the eye. Additive colors are used for
lighting, television, and computer monitors.
Your monitor, for example, creates color by
emitting light through red, green, and blue
phosphors.
• Each of the RGB components can use a
value ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white)
15. Colors
• CMYK-Whereas the RGB model depends on a light
source to create color, the CMYK model is based on
the light-absorbing quality of ink printed on paper.
As white light strikes translucent inks, a portion of
the spectrum is absorbed. Color that is not absorbed
is reflected back to your eye.
• Combining pure C,M & Y pigments would result in
black by absorbing, or subtracting, all colors. For
this reason they are called subtractive colors.
Black (K) ink is added for better shadow density.
• Combining these inks to reproduce color is called
four-color process printing.
17. HSB
• Based on the human perception of color, the HSB model
describes three fundamental characteristics of color:
• Hue
– Color reflected from or transmitted through an object. It is measured
as a location on the standard color wheel, expressed as a degree
between 0° and 360°. In common use, hue is identified by the name of
the color, such as red, orange, or green.
• Saturation
– Strength or purity of the color (sometimes called chroma). Saturation
represents the amount of gray in proportion to the hue, measured as a
percentage from 0% (gray) to 100% (fully saturated).
• Brightness
– Relative lightness or darkness of the color, usually measured as a
percentage from 0% (black) to 100% (white).

20. AI Painting methods
• Illustrator provides two methods of
painting:
1. Assigning a fill, stroke, or both to an entire
object, and
2. Converting the object to a Live Paint group
and assigning fills or strokes to the separate
edges and faces of paths within it.
21. Live Paint
• Using Live Paint you can draw several
paths and then color separately each area
enclosed by these paths (called a face).
You can also assign different stroke colors
and weights to portions of a path between
intersections (called an edge).
22. About blending modes
• Blending modes let you vary the ways that
the colors of objects blend with the colors
of underlying objects. When you apply a
blending mode to an object, the effect of
the blending mode is seen on any objects
that lie beneath the object’s layer or group.
23. Methods of combining objects
• You can combine vector objects to create shapes in a variety of ways in
Illustrator. The resulting paths or shapes differ depending on the method you
use to combine the paths.
• Pathfinder effects
• Pathfinder effects let you combine multiple objects using one of ten interaction
modes. Unlike compound shapes, you can’t edit the interactions between
objects when you use a Pathfinder effect.
• Compound shapes
• Compound shapes let you combine multiple objects and specify how you want
each object to interact with the other objects. Compound shapes are more
versatile than compound paths because they provide four kinds of interactions:
add, subtract, intersect, and exclude. In addition, the underlying objects are not
changed, so you can select each object within a compound shape to edit it or
change its interaction mode.
• Compound paths
• Compound paths let you use an object to cut a hole in another object. For
example, you can create a doughnut shape from two nested circles. Once you
create a compound path, the paths act as grouped objects. You can select and
manipulate the objects separately using the Direct Selection tool or Group
Selection tool; or you can select and edit the combined path.
24. Pathfinder panel overview
• Add To Shape Area
– Adds the area of the component to the underlying geometry.
• Subtract from Shape Area
– Cuts out the area of the component from the underlying
geometry.
• Intersect Shape Areas
– Uses the area of the component to clip the underlying geometry
as a mask would.
• Exclude Overlapping Shape Areas
– Uses the area of the component to invert the underlying
geometry, turning filled regions into holes and vice versa.

27. Spot Colors…
• A spot color is a special premixed ink that
is used instead of, or in addition to, CMYK
process inks, and that requires its own
printing plate on a printing press. Use spot
color when few colors are specified and
color accuracy is critical. Spot color inks
can accurately reproduce colors that are
outside the gamut of process colors.
28. About process colors
• A process color is printed using a
combination of the four standard process
inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
(CMYK). Use process colors when a job
requires so many colors that using
individual spot inks would be expensive or
impractical, as when printing color
photographs.
29. About color separations
• To reproduce color and continuous-tone images, printers
usually separate artwork into four plates (called process
colors)—one plate for each of the cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black portions of the image. You can also include
custom inks (called spot colors), these colors combine to
reproduce the original artwork.
• The process of dividing the image into two or more colors
is called color separating, and the film from which the
plates are created are called the separations.
30. About Brushes
• Brushes let you stylize the appearance of
paths. You can apply brush strokes to
existing paths, or you can use the
Paintbrush tool to draw a path and apply a
brush stroke simultaneously.
Sample brushes
A. Calligraphic brush B. Scatter brush C. Art brush D. Pattern brush
31. About Brushes Types
• Four types of brushes are:
• Calligraphic brushes
– Create strokes that resemble those drawn with the angled point
of a calligraphic pen and are drawn along the center of the path.
• Scatter brushes
– Disperse copies of an object (such as a ladybug or a leaf) along
the path.
• Art brushes
– Stretch a brush shape (such as Rough Charcoal) or object shape
evenly along the length of the path.
• Pattern brushes
– Paint a pattern—made of individual tiles—that repeats along the
path. Pattern brushes can include up to five tiles, for the sides,
inner corner, outer corner, beginning, and end of the pattern.
32. About slices
• Web pages can contain many elements—
HTML text, bitmap images, and vector
graphics etc.
• In Illustrator, slice defines the boundaries
of different web elements in artwork.
