# Build a seasonal colorway set

> Turn one render into a labeled seasonal colorway set with Library swatches, Color Variation, folder batches and Region Maps.

You'll end with a board of labeled colorways, all built from one base render and your season's palette.

Eight colorways of one running shoe, all from the same side view.

**You need:** one clean side-view render on a plain background, and the season's palette as an .ase or .aco file or hex codes.

## Steps

1. Click **Library** in the toolbar, open **Workspace** (Enterprise) or **My Library**, and choose **Create folder** ([Library](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/library.md)).
2. Open the folder, click **+** (**Add asset**) and drop the .ase or .aco file on the **Upload** tab.

![The Workbench with the Library button in the toolbar marked 1 and the Library panel marked 2. The panel has a Find an asset... search box, All Libraries, and tiles for Workspace, Team, My Library, This File and Vizcom. The Team tile is grayed out.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/library-open.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=3da0c96d027318cfeb9e5fff4114d537)

Library in the toolbar (1) opens a panel with every library you can use (2).

3. Drag from the render's **+** handle and choose **Variate** ([Color Variation](https://docs.vizcom.com/color-variation.md)).
4. On the **Color** tab, click **Access color palette**, pick the season's palette, set a count and click **Generate**.

![A yellow backpack connected to a Variation block with a green, cream and tan palette named Botanical Balance and the count set to 8, next to eight generated backpacks in olive, cream and tan colorways](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/mZT69WTP9Dk-4r_B/images/image-4.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mZT69WTP9Dk-4r_B\&q=85\&s=8d913cf40b3726b3c89c20eb144763ec)

One Variation block on the Color tab with an eight-colorway run.

5. Select the base render, press <kbd>Q</kbd> and **@**-mention the season's folder to make one colorway per swatch ([Mentions](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/mentions.md)).
6. Click **Create Region Map** on a colorway to recolor it part by part ([Region Maps](https://docs.vizcom.com/region-maps.md)).
7. In **All Regions**, click **Apply Palette** or drag a Library color onto one region, then click **Generate** or **Flatten**.

Region Maps splits the product into parts you recolor one by one.

8. Select the colorways, click **Arrange**, press <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> for a section and <kbd>T</kbd> to label each one ([Canvas elements](https://docs.vizcom.com/tools/canvas-elements.md)).
9. Right-click the section and choose **Download assets** or **Export...** ([Export](https://docs.vizcom.com/export-panel.md)).

## Good to know

* Settle the form first: colorways on an unsettled form multiply rework.
* Color Variation makes 1 colorway per click on Free, up to 4 on Pro and Edu, and up to 16 on Organization and Enterprise.
* Folder runs use **1K** or **2K** and ask you to confirm above 10 images. Each colorway uses [credits](https://docs.vizcom.com/vizcom-credits.md).
