Hi All,
I receive tiff files from one of my clients that don't track color very
accurately. I know they are taking eps files from Freehand and then
rasterizing them in Photoshop. When I get them they are tagged with
sRGB, which I think is incorrect, based on my monitor and the prints I
make from them.
Anyone know what color space Freehand 8 or 9 uses for RGB, is it the
monitor space?
I would like to assign a different profile that more closely matches
their proofs. Problem is when I assign this new profile of mine that
matches more closely it also adds a considerable amount of blue to my
whites, 10 cyan and 5 magenta.
It looks like ProfileCities ProfileManager can edit the white point for
me. Currently those settings are
L: 90.69
a: -.69
b: 2.5.
This does not seem so bad, don't know why I am getting such high scum
dots in my whites. (I just looked at some additional info in
ProfileManager and this profile I want to use and edit is a scanner
profile)
What should I edit? Leave L alone and take a and b to zero, or maybe
even take L to 100? All the colors I am attempting to hit were
originally vector colors and they need to be bright and clean.
This whole thing is such a cluster and I want to simplify the entire
process. I hope to convince the client that all the hoops he is going
through are not needed and that simply sending me his eps files would
work as my RIP can deal with them. Plus, if I can find out the color
space used by Freehand for RGB, then I'm all set.
In the mean time I still have tiff files to deal with.
Thanks in advance.
