I've got into troubles with Photoshop 6 / 7 separations, and have read
things
like
"Dan Margulis recently posted that this too-high cyan value was a *last
minute kludge* implemented ........"
"...Hit the curves button and you'll see that, whatever you choose as
your
dot
gain percentage, PS adds 4 per cent to the cyan......."
Could someone tell me the right way to
1- convert RGB images to CMYK in Photoshop without getting a cyan or
green
color cast on press?
2- convert archived Euroscale v2 CMYK images to well balanced CMYK Euro
standard files?
hello,
European profiles from Adobe are often coming with errors.
Yes, I think like Dan margulis that the Adobe Euro V2 is with too much
important correction on the magenta ink. The result is a green color
cast and poor magenta and red colors.
The best way to obtaint good colors is to use the ECIRGB profile for
the RGB space and a CMYK profil simulating a Cromalin.
The more easy to do that is to use the "Eurostandard coated" from the
Photoshop Version 5.
But this one have also a error with a dot gain of 10. You have to put
the dot gain at 18.
When you do that, it is normal that the manual curve adds 4 per cent to
the cyan. It's the normal correction to have a good gray balance.
I suggest also to correct the separation table with light black
generation, maximum black at 90 and total ink at 340.
If you want a V2 CMYK profile, you may use the "Pantone Euroscale
positive" from Pantone. it is a good profile for an European defauld
CMYK space. His gray balance is not absolutly neutral, but with a very
little green color cast.
