Hi All
What exactly does "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off" mean? There
must be a reason it says this as a color setting versus just saying
OFF. What happened in InDesign 2 when you turned color management off?
Here is my issue:
InDesign CS2, with color settings set to "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0
CMS Off". If you place an untagged RGB image,and output to a proofing
device as 'Composite CMYK' it appears to convert to CMYK on the fly.
What exactly are the "settings" it is using? What is it assuming as
the input profile? What is it assuming as the output profile? What
rendering intent? The proofs look pretty good, but they represent
some unknown CMYK conversion that I can't figure out.
The reason I ask is that if I like the proof, I would like to be able
to convert my RGB image to the CMYK seps that are in the proof, but I
can't. I've tried all the more obvious settings in photoshop and I'm
not even getting close.
As a workaround, I could obviously place my image at 100%, export an
uncompressed PDF and rasterize into photoshop. I've actually done
this, and it works, but I still don't know what conversion is
happening. The color settings I use in the export dialog are 'Convert
to Destination' and the destination is 'Document CMYK'. What is
"Document CMYK" when color settings are set to "Emulate Adobe
InDesign 2.0 CMS Off"?
Does anybody know?
