Hi Stephen, sorry for the late response It's been a hectic week. A lot of CMYK-converting to be done.. :P This is what I found: When you set your color management policy to ignore liked profiles this does not apply to "old" documents so the gcr-profile is still active in the placed image. You...

Dropbox and Google Drive got great cloud storage, also very affordable. But there is always a risk that they might loose your data one day. Best regards,

Ok, clearly we have a different view on color management and what to do and what not to do with an Indesign doc from a client. In my initial post I was curious to see If anybody else is assigning all profiles and I wanted to show a way of doing it (if one would like to, not saying that everyone...

Guess you did not look at post no 4. And I did not altered the file, I color managed it "by the book" and did a tutorial how to do it.

The test file that I posted shows various different problems that DO occur in real life everyday, but maybe not all at once. I thought this was the Color Management section of the forum? And printers do need to up their color management game. So why not correct the wrongs? I know what...

No one said it was as easy as converting RGB, but we are doing it all day and it works great. I think It's better to solve the problem instead of accept it as a fact.

Stephen, I disagree. CMYK and RGB numbers Is not a color, the numbers always depends on the output (display, printer or press) thats why we need icc-profiles. Lets say a client have a orange logo that is 40m and 100y the output can differ alot if you don't color manage. IMHO thats what icc...

I think Adobe should provide this kind of color management features as a native function. It would be great to have a setting to not convert CMYK line art. But I don't understand why you doesn't want to convert any CMYK-photos? Best regards,

I agree with you both about the above. Of course you shoud have a well documented color management policy both for customers and staff, and we do. I know about all the issues with converting CMYK to CMYK (we use device links for this with inkreduction/gcr, in a PDF/X-4 workflow). But thats not...

My point is: If a photo or graphic element has an assiged profile (in the original file) you should color manage that object correct no mather what the designers colors settings are. Since most designers does not care or use default settings in InDesign.

So if the customer have turned off color management in InDesign and no profiles are assigned to the document or the images you would do what? There have to be some kind of color management since you need to convert from RGB to CMYK. I guess you would pick up the phone and call the designer and...

I would not contact the author of the document just because the document has a wrong document CMYK-profile or placed content aren´t assigned with it's own ICC, since I know that the authors answer would result in: me doing the above actions. And I would have to call almost every time someone...

Thanks for all you files! Here is the result (Just one of the files was "correctly" color managed, by my opinion). Here is a video of how I work, to get the best result when handling a InDesign document from a customer or colleague. This is how I set up the color settings in Adobe CC. In...

6 files right now. Please contribute with your PDF. Many files = better data for a conclusion and discussion. Best regards.

Hi guys and girls, This is just an experiment to see how people handles Indesign-files and make PDF:s for print. If you got a spare minute, please download this test file and follow this instructions: 1. Make a print ready PDF-file (Fogra39 / ISOCoated_V2) 2. Post a link below or mail it to...

Thanks for clarify this. Did not know that the Pantone Lab-values are M2-values. Good to know for the future. Best regards /

Thanks for doing this Stephen! Obviously you got a perfect match. What software are you using to do spot measuring with the i1 Pro 2?

Thanks Stephen, since Kodak and CGS have the same values I trust in the values now. The difference is probably related to the printed swatch book, backing and measure instrument (or all three). Please measure your printet swatch when you have a spared minute. Best regards,

Hi, Im often getting a request to convert Pantone-colors to RGB, Lab or CMYK. I usually do the following (In this case I want to convert Pantone+ 7433 Solid Coated to Adobe RGB): • New blank Lab document i Photoshop • Choose the right Pantone from the library • Fill the document with the...
