The Color Picker is a handy, yet overlooked new tool in Adobe Captivate 2. Using the Color Picker, you can pick up the color properties of just about anything on your computer.
For instance, you need to match the color of the text used in your Text Captions to a color in your logo. The problem is you’re not sure what "that color is" or how to recreate it. No problem, you can use the Color picker to "pick" the logo’s color for you.
Follow these steps to success:
- Insert a new Text Caption or double-click an existing text caption to display the Text Caption properties
- Select the text
- Select either the Highlight Color or Font Color pick list (the black arrow to the right of either tool)
The Pick color tool is the eyedropper located in the lower right of the color panel
- Select the Pick color tool
Your mouse pointer will now look like the Pick color tool. Anything you point to now will display its colors–at the pixel level.
- Point to anything on your screen containing color
- Click one time on the color you would like to pick
The text you selected will magically be using the color you picked.
- Click OK
You can use this same technique to pick the color for slide backgrounds, Highlight fills and frame colors, and more.
