66-2 Illustration Applications NOTE: If you define colors in RGB and print directly from the application, the application converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the Color Server. This conversion by the application will determine which ColorWise print options affect your job. For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in your document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it sends the job to the Color Server, the Pure Black Text/Graphics option in the PPD will have no effect when you print the job. You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE color library (see page 2-7). Importing images In general, all images placed in illustration applications should be in EPS file format. All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and Rendering Style settings in the PPD. The ColorWise color management system applies the specified RGB Source setting to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering Style (CRD) to perform a color conversion to CMYK. An exception to this occurs if you assign ICC profiles to RGB images using the application's color management tools (see "Tips for advanced users" in the following section). In this case, the application performs the color conversion of the image and sends CMYK data to the Color Server. Tips for advanced users If you place multiple RGB images, some non-photographic and some photographic, a single CRD may not be suitable for all the images. In this case, you may want the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, separate the image to CMYK data with a pixel-editing application such as Photoshop, and perform color correction. Save the image as an EPS or TIFF file and import it into the document. You can also save the RGB image in TIFF format and assign it an ICC profile and rendering intent when you import it into the document (see the discussions of specific applications in this chapter).
