In this example, an image in Photoshop 5.x is converted from RGB to CMYK using the Photoshop ICC color conversion features in the CMYK Setup option. Using the Simulation settings available in ColorWise, the CMYK image is printed to the Color Server, and the output is made to appear as if it were printed on an offset press. For more information on CMYK Setup, see your Photoshop 5.x documentation.

Click OK. • Open an RGB image. Select Mode >CMYK Color from the Image menu. • Save the image in any file format. • Print directly to the Color Server. • Use ColorWise Pro Tools to select a simulation profile or download a custom ICC profile to the Color Server for use as a CMYK Simulation Profile.

Simple and Advanced Workflows
Color proofing examples
The following examples illustrate methods for simulating the output from another
printing system, such as an offset press. Each of the proofing examples uses an
ICC
profile
to describe the destination color space. While some examples use
simulation
profiles
built into the Color Server, others use ColorWise Pro Tools (see the
Color
Guide
) to download custom ICC output profiles to the Color Server for use as
simulation profiles.
Photoshop 5.x RGB-to-CMYK conversion using a custom ICC profile
This workflow is useful for prepress environments that have integrated ICC color
management and profiles for the presses they use. In this example, an image in
Photoshop 5.x is converted from RGB to CMYK using the Photoshop ICC color
conversion features in the CMYK Setup option. Using the Simulation settings
available in ColorWise, the CMYK image is printed to the Color Server, and the
output is made to appear as if it were printed on an offset press. For more information
on CMYK Setup, see your Photoshop 5.x documentation.
This document could be created as follows:
In Photoshop 5.x, set CMYK Model in CMYK Setup to ICC.
In the Profile menu, select an ICC profile for the desired offset press. Click OK.
Open an RGB image. Select Mode >CMYK Color from the Image menu.
Save the image in any file format.
Print directly to the Color Server.
Use ColorWise Pro Tools to select a simulation profile or download a custom
ICC profile to the Color Server for use as a CMYK Simulation Profile.
