Understanding Separation Settings
This section provides you with in-depth information on the Separation settings.
Mapping colors
You can map a color to another by dragging it to the color. You can only do this up to one mapping level. Mapped colors appear indented below the color they are mapped to.
NOTE: Mapping colors with a pre-separated document is only possible if you have a Normalizer in the flow.
If you have a list of four colors and you drag color 2 to color 1 the result would be as follows:

If you drag color 3 to color 1 or color 2, the result would be:

CAUTION: When you move a color to the other table, you will also move any colors that are mapped and linked to that specific color.
CMYK Conflict
If you select Use application values, Apogee might detect different CMYK values for the same color. In that case, a message will be sent to the Message Board.
The conflicting color is shown in red italics with a red in-job indicator. The conflicting CMYK values are displayed in the Occurs in window in the Definition column. You can only resolve the conflict by clearing the Automatic check box, and entering the desired CMYK values.
A color policy conflict is displayed in red: A CMYK conflict is displayed in blue.
