Our customer is using InDesign CS/Mac and images are placed in the
layout in both CMYK-PSD and RGB-PSD format. In order to be able to
take full use of the advantages of RGB workflow, they would like to
place all images to InDesign in RGB color space.
They want to build mechanical shadows for many of the images (mostly
catalogue product shots), and they want to do that in Photoshop CS.
The images are then saved, with the shadow on its own layer, as PSD.
Optimally, the CMYK conversion should then be done later, either with
InDesign or even after the PDF has been created. When the shadow is
created in RGB, problem is, that the shadows get to be made out of
all four CMYK colors, when the ideal case would be pure K. The CMYK
numbers are of course depending on which press profile is used. But
even with a heavily acromatic profile, there's still a fair amount of
CMY. In the press that can cause the color of the shadow to shift
away from neutral.
Otherwise the color management is not a problem, with the right
settings everything works fine.
Any suggestions on how to solve this issue??
