Using the Color Sort tool The Color Sort tool enables you to rebuild a design that has the same color used more than once into a design with a minimum of color stops.. There are times that a color is used more than once in a design by necessity. This occurs when colors need to overlay. The Color Sort tool analyzes a design to see if any colors are repeated. It then looks to see if any of those repeated colors can be combined into a single layer. If not, the color layers are left intact. Certain file types have color limitations that make color sort unadvisable. In these cases, the designer ran out of colors and had to re-use a color to complete the design. Also, some designs use color stops to indicate an appliqué or a trim. Not all file types have these functions built-in. In these cases, Color Sort should be used with care.

Using the Color Sort tool
The Color Sort
tool enables you to rebuild a design that has
the same color used more than once into a design with a
minimum of color stops..
The Color Sort tool analyzes a design to see if any colors are
repeated. It then looks to see if any of those repeated colors
can be combined into a single layer. If not, the color layers are
left intact.
There are times that a color is used more than once in a design
by necessity. This occurs when colors need to overlay.
Certain file types have color limitations that make color sort
unadvisable. In these cases, the designer ran out of colors and
had to re-use a color to complete the design. Also, some
designs use color stops to indicate an appliqué or a trim. Not all
file types have these functions built-in. In these cases, Color
Sort should be used with care.
