Is it a function of Argyllcms to create this "effect”?
Yes, because it doesn’t do black width and GCR :-)
Could you briefly walk us through what you do?
Sure. Here’s the lazy version for Terminalphobics who would prefer to drag and drop and not have to properly install ArgyllCMS: 1. Open the Terminal and type “cd” (not the quotes) and a space. Drag the bin folder from your downloaded version of Argyll on the Terminal window and hit return. 2. Type ./collink -v -ke -G -ip Add a space and then drag & drop the AdobeRGB1998 profile on the Terminal window followed by the GRACoL2006_Coated1v2 profile and then type the name that you’d like to call your profile e.g. aRGB_2_GRACoL2006.icc Hit return and collink will build your gamut mapped device link profile and save it into the bin folder. 3. Make a test image — Argyll’s default is good for this test — it will also be saved into the bin folder: ./timage -v -r1200 -s -x myTestImage.tif 4. Convert the test image using your new device link: ./cctiff -v [drag & drop your device link profile] [drag & drop the test image] myCMYK.tif [The converted image is untagged (you can easily tag the images in Argyll, but I wanted to keep the above as stripped down and as simple as possible.] Open the converted image and look at the yellow channel in the right hexagon :-) -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
