Subject: Photoshop 6 changing black to gray
I am having an odd problem with Photoshop 6 -- whenever I rasterize a
Quark 4 or Illustrator 8 vector eps files, PS changes 100% black to a
percentage of black. If I goof around with the CMYK working space,
the color I end up with changes -- which is really odd because I'm
working on a grayscale document.
The eps files are really simple -- black type or shapes, and I'm
rasterizing into grayscale. Here are the values what I get for the
different settings:
Color Management Off: 78%
Colorsync Workflow: 93%
Emulate Photoshop 4: 100%
Japan Prepress Defaults: 95%
Photoshop 5 default spaces: 100%
U.S. Prepress Defaults: 85%
Web Graphics Defaults: 78%
Am I missing some other setting somewhere? If not I guess I'll revert
to PS4 emulation. Although I'd like to use one of the more modern
settings in case we ever decide to get into color management, I do
need to have dependable, consistent color between applications.

The file is really a CMYK value. 100% K in CMYK is nowhere near as
dark as CMYK can get.
A work around in your case is to rasterize into CMYK, and discard the
CMY channels, keeping only the K channel.
