Thanks for all the comments re Quark's CMS. The first
time I did the test I used CMYK EPS files that I
wanted to convert to a different CMYK space. Sounds
like there might be 2 problems with that idea. If I
have an embedded profile in the image for CMYK and I
want to convert to another CMYK color space, Can I
drop the embedded image into Quark and expect it to
convert if I use the CMS? Or would I have to use the
"composite simulates separations" which I guess you
folks are stating doesn't work, right? So is the
answer 'you can't do a CMYK to CMYK directly in
Quark?'
The second time I did the test I used RGB TIF files to
convert to CMYK. Now I see different results as
expected. Does anyone know what CMM uses Quark uses if
I have ColorSync set to Automatic? When I did the
second test with RGB TIF files I did a P2P in
photoshop from RGB to CMYK and then took the same
image in it's RGB state w/ the embedded RGB profile
and told Quark to use the CMYK profile on print. So
they don't match well as expected. There is no control
for rendering intent or CMM. I guess that leaves a
workflow decision from someone to make. How can one
decide which way is better OR right?
