In AI 10, if you make a Pantone spot color in RGB mode, convert it to CMYK,
then switch to CMYK mode -- the CMYK specs will be different than if you
made the color in CMYK mode to begin with.>>
Well it's very related and in a way that has to do with fundamental desktop
graphics training and production tools that invite problems and errors for
practically everyone in the chain of events.
In this day and age, I find the software just as stupid as it is marvelous.
The toolset should be much more astute for our benefit as opposed to our
dismay. Case in point, why is so easy to misuse a Pantone in an RGB document?
Another case in point, InDesign 2 lets you use an RGB raster photo as a
background and when you place any graphic, be it 1bit, greyscale, RGB, CMYK, or
even a shadow effect that requires transparency on that background, it will
change the RGB background to CMYK if the Transparency Blend found in the pulldown
Edit Menu is set to CMYK and it will only effect that single page in the
document. Shouldn't InDesign know enough not to change data especially without a
warning dialog?
