Set Color with the Complimentary Color Palette

Use the Set Color with the Complimentary Color Palette function to set the SKU of the mat layer from the Color Palette generated by the currently displayed image.

Take a photo or load an image file of the artwork that you wish to use. Have that image on the screen and the Art Region selected from it.
The Complimentary Colors Palette will display the complimentary colors associated with the currently selected Art Region.
Click on the desired color displayed in the Complimentary Colors section, select the desired mat layer for the color, and select either Color or Mat SKU.
If you select Color, it will apply the color to the selected layer.
If you select Mat SKU, it opens the Select Color SKU screen. See Set SKU by Color above.
Optionally, select to add it as a new mat layer.
If the Complimentary Color Palette section is not displayed, return to the Art Regions tab and click on the desired art region.
The palette is created using the colors within the selected art region.
When finished, Save SKU Images to save this thumbnail to the SKU for future reference.
