Locking colors in the color table

1. Select one or more colors in the color table. (See Selecting colors.)
2. Lock the color:
• Click the Lock button .
• Choose Lock/Unlock Selected Colors from the Color Table palette menu.

A white square appears in the lower right corner of each locked color.

Note: If the selected colors include both locked and unlocked colors, all colors will be locked.

To unlock a color:

1. Click the locked color to select it.
2. Unlock the color:
• Click the Lock button .

The white square disappears from the color swatch.
