Hi all, I want to report a very strange behaviour of illustrator and color transformation, if someone of you can give us some advice, will be very apreciated.
First try this: Place a PSD image with a cliping path in an RGB (or CMYK) illustrator document (we are trying this because we want to set up a RGB workflow.
second, convert the illustrator document to PDF (RGB PDF in our case), we did this with many options, using save as PDF in Illustrator , saving as EPS, then distilling it, and send it as postscript file with the printer driver.
Once the PDF is converted, the resulting document still is in RGB. Then we apply the color convertion with our Pinergy ColorConvert module and the result is another PDF in the output color space, but the ugly thing is that the image and the vector graphics have been converted in many small pieces with a ghosting effect or a kind of transparency invading the rest of the objetcs out the bounds of the clipping path, wich make that document usless at least.
We also change our color convert application to iQueue, and the results were almost the same.
Finally we attempt to make the same process with Illustrator 9, and the problem was solved at least when we generate the PDF with the "save as pdf" option, including fonts and keeping the space in RGB.
We changed our color space to CMYK, and the first resulting PDF was fine, but when we convert from CMYK to CMYK, the problem came out as in the RGB workflow with the iQueue and Prinergy engines.
Does anybody know how to deal with the Illustrator 10 and a RGB workflow or maybe with color convertions with PSD and clipping paths?
Thanks in advance
