Working with imported images
You can import images into documents created in illustration applications (such as
Illustrator) and page layout applications (such as QuarkXPress). The recommended
formats for images imported into page layout documents are
(or EPSF) and
If you encounter a problem using a TIFF format image, use the EPS file format.
Support for importing other file formats may be provided by individual applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and
Rendering Style settings. The ColorWise color management system applies the
specified RGB Source setting to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering
Style (
) to perform a color conversion. An exception to this occurs if you assign
to RGB images using the application’s color management tools (see the
following section). In this case, the application performs the color conversion of the
image and sends CMYK data to the Fiery.

:
To take advantage of RGB Source and Rendering Style settings for images
imported into QuarkXPress, save images in the EPS format or use the Quark
PrintRGB XTension, which outputs RGB TIFF image files without converting
them to CMYK.
Mixing image types (Advanced color management)
If you place multiple RGB images—mixed non-photographic and photographic—into
a file, a single CRD may not optimize output for all the images. In this case, you may
want the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this,
separate the image to CMYK data with a pixel-editing application, such as Photoshop,
and perform color correction. Save the file as EPS or TIFF format and import it into
the document.
If your application supports this feature, you can save the RGB image in TIFF
format and assign it an
and
when you import it into
the document.
