Photoshop 5.x Built-in RGB-to-CMYK workflow
This workflow is useful for prepress environments that have not integrated ICC color
management and do not have profiles for the presses they use. In this example, an
image is converted from RGB to CMYK using Photoshop 5.x's Built-in color
conversion features in the CMYK Setup option. (For more information on CMYK
Setup, see your Photoshop 5.x documentation.) Using the Simulation settings available
in ColorWise, the CMYK image is printed to the ColorPASS, and the output is made
to appear as if it were printed on an offset press.
This document could be created as follows:
• Select the Built-in radio button from CMYK Setup in Photoshop 5.x
Color Settings.
• Adjust the Ink Options and Separation Options to match your offset press.
• Select the Tables radio button in CMYK Setup and click Save.
This saves your settings as a CMYK ICC profile that you will later download to the
ColorPASS as a custom simulation profile.
• Click on the Built-in radio button in CMYK Setup again and click OK.
• Launch ColorWise Pro Tools and download your new CMYK ICC profile to the
ColorPASS as a custom Simulation profile.
For the Appear in Driver as option in Profile Settings, select Simulation-1. (For more
information on downloading profiles, see page 4-5.)
• Open an RGB image in Photoshop 5.x. From the Image menu, select
Mode >CMYK Color. Save the image as Photoshop EPS.
• Print the image directly to the ColorPASS and choose Simulation-1 as the CMYK
Simulation Profile setting.
