if the Y axis is earning potential and Y=450 is Average Wage, that graph is spookily accurate for me. #glad to be done with it.:)

Re the GWG document "GWG_PDFX4_Workflow_EN.pdf" updated 2020. page 20 bottom Checking the source profiles of an InDesign document Use the “Edit” -> “Color Settings” menu item to check what the currently assigned document color spaces are. If you don’t want to change anything, make sure to always...

Bleeds DeviceRGB Content randomly positioned on a larger page size. Getting png confused with pdf. Can't see it getting any better in the next 30years.:)

So it is not worth the time and effort to try and correct people. It's almost like trying to explain why the sky is blue to a 2-year-old. It just is not worth it. Apologies in advance for the gross pedantry but the sky isn't blue !:eek:

Old plates were close enough to linear that you didn't need the plate curve unless you were running more than one platemaker. When we went to Process-Less Plates we need a plate curve to get close enough to linear, from memory its about 13% at the 50%point, so very different from your graph.

Photoshop can pick out the nearest Pantone to RGB in the Color picker, you might have to reload the old ACBs though. ECG on Ink Jet; the RIP needs to drive from RGB, it would struggle if you fed it pre separated spots. Mine won't access its PANTONE library in RGB mode.

In the last couple of years image-files have come through that don't even open directly in Photoshop. .jpg (that turned out to be webp) .jpg (that would only open in ACR!) .MP(google moving picture) HEIC HEIF HIF and .jsx and there is the whole SDR vs HDR to come (had someone send me a dozen...

Would be nice to think that Adobe could lever some AI Generative Bleed button into Acrobat Pro, but guessing if they didn't do it with content aware fill in the last ten years they're not going to bother. You can do it manually and gives really good results but its not quick. Acrobat Edit Image...

Its like your Gran comes to stay for the week, and when you get back from a day at work, they've helpfully re-organised all your stuff in to new kitchen cupboards to make it easier for you. :love: If a third party made a selection of "skins" for Acrobat's interface and tools, I'd be in ! Its...

Kodak Spectrum was awesome but crazy expensive because you'd have to stop making the plates to proof. Wonder if there are any still out there. You could try outputting the Epsons at 200% or 400% size and see if that shows your problems. The resolution of platesetters is real. The resolution of...

On Ventura and Sonoma, Impact is a Supplemental Font and looks like only one weight (Regular shows in Typeface and Pages). AFAIK you can no longer disable Supplemental fonts. So you're stuck with a clash that a Font Manager can't resolve. I'm guessing you'd need to be using a local Fonts folder...

∂E is super non technical. ∂ is for difference and E is for Colour. ;)

Upgraded to 2023.008. Crashing all the time. Went to Creative Cloud, uninstalled Acrobat, re-installed Acrobat (2023.008), re-installed Pitstop, re-installed Kodak Tools, re-set preferences for all and Quick Tools, still getting massive amount of crashes, usually when closing files or trying to...

:)⚠️:poop: fuzziness rating

Thanks for the replies prepressdork and oxburger. I narrowed it down a bit more, so if I turn off the Output Preview it doesn't happen. So not to do with either Pitstop nor the Prinergy PlugIns. These are not complicated images, the SBOD is apperaring with the simplest of pdfs but turning off...
