Smart color bars
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of enhancing color bars utilized in color rendering applications, comprising:
- associating at least one primary color bar with an electronic document in response to at least one input by a user, wherein said at least one primary color bar is based on a plurality of input color spaces utilized by said electronic document; and
automatically configuring a dynamic color bar that includes a plurality of spot colors associated with said electronic document, wherein said dynamic color bar permits said user to determine all spot colors defined for said electronic document and said at least one primary color bar permits a single set of color rendering rules for color bar content and placement to be governed by said primary color bar, thereby enhancing the use of color bars in color rendering applications.

Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for enhancing color bars utilized in color rendering applications. One or more primary color bars are associated with an electronic document in response to at least one input by a user, wherein the primary color bar(s) is based on a plurality of input color spaces utilized by the electronic document. Additionally, a dynamic color bar can be automatically configured that includes a plurality of spot colors associated with the electronic document, wherein the dynamic color bar permits the user to determine all spot colors defined for the electronic document. The primary color bar(s) permits a single set of rules for color bar content and placement to be governed by the primary color bar, thereby enhancing the use of color bars in color rendering applications.
