Colour palettes in B&E RagTime

Through varied functions and a bargain price RagTime is “the tool for business publishing” (quote from the handbook). In addition to graphic-, layout-, spreadsheets- and word processing fuctions the software comes up with ingenious colour functionality – all the way up to four colour separation (CMYK).

The colours consistently expand the features. They are available in a clear list in the inventory window. Click on the desired colour and pull it onto the object – Done!

Using colour palettes in B&E RagTime

1. Start Ragtime and open the file you wish to edit.
2. Move onto the menu option "Import".
3. Select the desired colour palette file (eps) from the above mentioned path.
4. Design with your colour palette using the floating selection window!

Switching the output optimisation

RagTime offers – in contrast to almost all other programs – the possibility of changing the output quality of a document retroactively in order to customise it to the various output situations (printer, light exposure,...). Proceed as follows:

1. In a document that has already been prepared with colours select the menu command "import"
2. Select the desired new output optimisation (eps-file).
3. An error message will appear with the warning that the colour is already comprised of different colour values. Select „always overwrite“.
