Hanson, this is like pulling teeth.

SpotlessX works with ordinary PDFs. It simply swaps Spotless screen tint builds for spot colors when the file is rendered by Prinergy. There is nothing special about the files that it accepts. The PDFs are not in N colorspace. They are ordinary standard PDFs.

Is the file you have received possibly a screened (bitmap) tiff?

Hi J,

Thanks your reply.

My intent is trying edit the file which have N-colorspace in some application just like editing the file which have normal colorspace. Is that possible?

P.S I can output the file from prinergy with screened or unscreened.

look forward to your further reply

Kodak Spotless does not have, or use, N-colorspace.

So your file is something else. I don't know what it is. Therefore I would not know how to edit it.

Hi J,

Maybe I am just not clear clarify on this issue. The file is rendered by the icc profile which created by spotless and the profiles is N-colorspace. So the rendered file will have N-colorspace.In other words the file is rendered from RGB to N-colorspace like 6 color or more.

Since it's a TIFF coming out of Prinergy is this a contone image or separated bitmaps? Why would you edit the image after Spotless? Why not edit the document before it is RIPped in Prinergy?

 

[Hanson]

my original file is in RGB colorspace. So I wanna use the extended profile which from spotless to convert this file to N-colorspace. Then look at it with some application like as photoshop and check the result.If some detail is not so good I want to edit it partially.

Thanks

I think some of the confusion is because Spotless does not create, or use, ICC profiles. It also is not used for images - RGB or otherwise.

I think you are talking instead about Colorflow which replaced ProfileWizard which creates N-color ICC profiles.

So simplified question that can I edit the file with N-colorspace. If can, how to do this

You need a 6 color ICC profile and an image editing application that can use it. I don't have the latest version of PShop so I don't know if PShop can do that. I don't know if ColorFlow can do it either - you'll probably have to ask Kodak.

Are you trying to convert from RGB into the multi-channel profile?

There are some plug-ins to allow Photoshop to support multi-channel profiles - Gretag-Macbeth/Xrite had one that was free.

As of CS4, Photoshop extended supports multi-channel profiles natively. What version of Photoshop do you have?

 

[Hanson]

I mean can I edit the file which have been mapped into N-color space in photoshop?
