Illustration Applications
You can also choose named colors from the PANTONE Coated library. See “Using the
PANTONE Coated color reference book” on page 3-6.
Importing images
In general, all images placed into illustration application documents should be in EPS
format.
All RGB images placed in your document are affected by the RGB Source and
Rendering Style settings. The DocuColor 40 CP color management system applies the
specified RGB Source setting to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering
Style (CRD) to perform a color conversion. An exception to this occurs if you assign
ICC profiles to RGB images using the application’s color management tools (see “Tips
for advanced users”). In this case, the application performs the color conversion of the
image and sends CMYK data to the DocuColor 40 CP.
Tips for advanced users
If you place multiple RGB images, some non-photographic and some photographic, a
single CRD may not be suitable 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 on it. Then save it as an EPS or TIFF file and import it into the
document. Alternatively, you can save the RGB image in TIFF format and assign it an
ICC profile and rendering intent when you import it into the document (see the
individual application notes in this chapter).
