In v1.1.6 I am not having any luck with the “merge to…” feature mapping a split/separated colour to another colour (say first splitting to 4 spots, then manually merging down to 2 spots)… Tried in both composite and separated. Looking forward to the next version incorporating previous feedback...

My demonstration demonstrates many things! :] Stephen Marsh

Here are 4 different CMYK profiles assigned to the same 100c100m source value. One is for a common press condition, Coated paper. The L*a*b* numbers show that this is a blueish purple, however it could be argued as just being “purple” by most human observers. One is for an inkjet printer, an...

How do I explain to a client that a CMYK value is not an actual color? https://printplanet.com/forum/prepre...n-actual-color Stephen Marsh

Looks like you need that action step on/off checkbox or debug mode feature to see where it is falling over (if you did not build/test incrementally). https://printplanet.com/forum/prepress-and-workflow/enfocus/265320-is-there-a-way-to-pause-stop-a-pitstop-action-list. Good luck! Stephen Marsh

Select by object properties, such as: #1 should be easy enough, select by stroke and or fill colours and colour mode + select by stroke weight #2 is a little harder… the fill colour is easy enough, however a rectangle does not have a weight, it has a physical width… Do you have an action for...

Thank you Schmaltzkop, I must have been having a bad day! :] I like to help, however it can be annoying when relying on presented information or files if the information is wrong. GIGO and all that. I go through this enough in my paying job! The sample PDF file shows these bars as...

Not that I am aware of… I floated the idea of having an enable/disable checkbox next to each action step similar to Adobe actions, however if I remember other users did not think that this was a good idea and that maintaining the status quo was preferable (duplicating the .eal, deleting steps...

I did mention that it was manual! Of course, I did try recording only the width change using the Inspector before I floated the suggestion of doing the size change manually from the auto selection… Back in post #4 I noted and asked you: ‘Your file has page content “all over the place”… Will...

Hah, now your just teasing ABC! A manual way of achieving the same end for those not yet on 2017 is to remove the last step from my action list and change it to something else, such as a colour fill change from registration colour to say 10% K for example. Run the action list on all pages… Only...

Goes to show how fast the new features become indispensable and feel like they have always been there! Stephen Marsh

Ah yes, I did not realise that I was using a feature that was specific to 2017… Here are screenshots of my two files, is it the resize step? Offhand the other steps should not be specific to the new version (looks like I have to re-read the release notes). The boxes show as a tint of...

To get you started, I have attached a couple of action lists using 2 different selection methods, the resize is to 0.5mm width so you will need to adjust that. Stephen Marsh

Thanks, as long as the gutter area is consistent, then it should be easy enough. Your file has page content “all over the place”… Will there be any consistency in page boxes, location of the object etc? I was hoping that the gutter would be in a consistent position on left and or right...

Thank you for the reply! 1. Perhaps a Mac thing 2. Excellent, metric rules! :] 3. I did do the conversion from metric to inches to add a new “odd business card size product” and it was correctly auto selected. My point was that this is not as simple as in say the USA where there may only be one...

A PitStop action list can change the box… Can you provide a download link to some samples? What is common about the boxes? Are they all the same fill and or stroke colour? Are they always in a similar position, centred on the page, but variable width within the gutter area? Stephen Marsh

It was Safari on the Mac… I did not try from Windows, perhaps it is a Mac thing! Stephen Marsh

Just an idea, it may be too much work for a small subset users though… I am sure that you are aware of the Robocopy CLI command (better than Xcopy). It can be hard for new users to learn though, remembering all of the switches, arguments, syntax etc. There is a GUI front end called “Robocopy...

Theory states that Perceptual intent should provide “more pleasing” results. Practice shows that generally Relative Colorimetric + Black Point Compensation are often “more pleasing”. This is often due to the compression of Perceptual reducing overall contrast. It is very much profile, CMM and...
