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.
This isn't really a color management issue
as much as a document structure issue, and I think it needs to be
addressed by the creating apps rather than by color management.
Basically, we need a way to flag some RGB elements so that they
convert to grayscale (K-only) rather than CMYK. Some color
servers can special-case RGB 000, which helps with K-only type, but
not with K-only drop shadows.
It's the number 1 problem that keeps people from adopting RGB
workflows, but I feel fairly strongly that trying to kludge it in the
color management end is a doomed effort-it really needs to be
handled by the creating apps.
