I was at a corel seminar this weekend and there was a lot of discussion about RGB & CMYK. In the class they showed us how to disable CMYK but I was not close enough to see how this was done.
View 1 RepliesSince yesterday all of a sudden my OKI color printer shows white areas in a sandy color, when I use CMYK as color modes. Other colors are shown in false colors, too. This effect is also shown in print preview, what means for me, it´s not a printer issue.
Refilling areas with colors in RGB works, but I don´t want to live with this workaround. Nearly all my Corel graphics are made using CMYK.
I have finished a logo for my friend Bob in Corel Draw X4. Made it in CMYK color mode. Used 3 nuances of green color previously given to me vith RGB values. My Corel change it to CMYK. I sent the file to Bob.
He has Corel Draw X5. When he opened the file and checked the CMYK values he was surprised because they were different from mine.
I immediately found an on-line RGB to CMYK converter to check which data is more valid when i got totally different CMYK values. Now i am truly worried and don't know what to think.
Here are the values:

CMYK 60/0/84/0

CMYK 80/7/64/0

We are doing Bars charts in Microsoft Excel and copy past (speical) them in Corel Draw to have an vector form.
When we export them as CMYK in .EPS format.
In priting we are getting RGB colour (the colours point towards lines in chart)
But the question is that when we group /select all the objects in coreldraw file and export them in CMYK in .eps format, why does every object does not convert into CMYK.
I use corel draw to design a poster for a scientific conference.
The content of my poster consists of many diagrams and example traces. To make them fit together I need to drag the content in X or Y. While that I distort the text (change the Y or X scaling). So in the end I need to rearrange hundreds of little text boxes by converting them to ‘paragraph text’ and back to ‘graphic text’ (to erase the scaling information).
How can I quickly straighten the text in the whole document? Or even better avoid the text from being distorted.
Using ‘paragraph text’ doesn’t work because the text boxes are scaled to. So if they are too small the text disappears completely. I can’t see the point, why text is deformable in the first place.Every were I read, the professionals says it is not recommended to deform the text. I think so too!

I am a musician doing the CD cover of my band's 3rd CD.
On the CD back I have images, text and the usual barcode. How can I publich to pdf from X5 so my images keep CMYK and my barcodes keep Black & White? My CD label gave this comment after the pdf I sent them:
"I think you do not understand that the barcodes and codes in general HAVE TO BE IN BLACK/WHITE. You cannot just integrate it in the 4 colour artwork as if it is a picture."
I use X5 upgraded directly to SP3 and PDF file shows Corel PDF engine version:15.2.0.686

I hope there is a better way as i have many images to convert.
COREL PAINT X3 does not do a very good job of rendering most of the CMYK images we've been getting in from our Taiwan base, and, due to language problems, we have been unable, despite decades of trying, to communicate the issues. Typically we do the original photo here, something that I used to do, but now the company uses a professional photographer - not wanting to spend big bucks on a professional camera.
His ultra-hi-res RGB photos are sent to Taiwan, where they are cleaned up and converted to CMYK using an unknown color scheme, for use in printing our mini catalog. Then I get the catalog back - in InDesign - with instructions to convert the linked CMYK photos back to RGB for use on the website, etc. The color model that they are using in Taiwan, however, typically has deep black at something like 70,65,65,70, which shows on the screen in Paint as very dark and garish, and it means that if I use the default RGB conversion, it looks that way in RGB as well, and half the picture will be solid black - 0,0,0. I.e., unusable. Oddly enough, however, it prints just fine.Now I'm pretty good with Paint, and I know how to use the tone curve to reset the values in the CMYK to usable levels, but it takes time, usually 3 or 4 tries to get it on the money, and of course in the process I'm compressing the color space by half, so there is an inevitable loss of detail.Of course, if I could get them to send us the original RGB or their cleaned up - background dropped out - version in RGB, then the problem would be eliminated, but no luck so far on that. My question is, is there any way to simplify what I'm having to do?

We need to convert it to Pantone for screen printing. The whole thing can be reduced to 6 colors without changing the look. Is there a process that will automatically convert the CMYK colors to close matching Pantone colors without going through each individual color and halftone, which would take forever..

View 14 Replies View RelatedA few months ago I made the switch from X3 to X6. I use Corel for lasering, and need a RGB red hairline for the vector cutting. All of my old files were done this way, but for some reason when they are opened in X6, they are opening with a CMYK red hairline, which does not cut on my laser.
Is there a way to get this to change automatically on old files, or do I just have to do it manually as I need them? I have thousands of files, and I seem to forget to change this sometimes.
I do have it set for RGB to be my default now, so anything new I create isn't a problem -- just the old files.
i downloaded the macro at [URL] but can't run it in x6. how can i do that?

When I'm starting any X6 program, from time to time a nagging screen appears asking me to buy a premium membership.
Although there's a checkbox that reads something like "don't show this message again", it's impossible to check that control because the window closes immediately when the checkbox is clicked.
I've paid for CorelDRAW suite and believe that should be sufficient. So is it possible to disable these nagging screens?

The target is in tiff file format, I'm suing xerox DC250 with creo RIP.
I work at a small newspaper and use CorelDraw X5 (the rest of the newspapers in our company all use Adobe products).
When we get for example, a logo sent to us (also happens with PDF's that are sent to us as well), many times the black is registration black and I need it to be CMYK.
When we PDF the ad to send it for printing the black is on all 4 plates (CMYK) our printer says, drop CorelDraw spend $2000+ and get in design and CS5 and your troubles will go away. I am hoping there is a solution that lets me continue to use CorelDraw as I love this program and do not want to switch.

I wish to diable JPEG export preview...How?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn Corel X3 I used to export jpg proofs for email purposes. I could send RGB or CMYK version but CMYK did not appear properly on some computers (especially Macs) so I did everything as RGB.
Now in X5 I can see that standard 100% black exported as RGB gives just grey colour.
I understand that this may be appropriate conversion to indicate that this is not rich black (exporting as cmyk is fine) but I don't think it's a good solution because most of people refer to visual appearance on the screen.
Can I change anything to get the result more like on screen (like with X3)?
I don't know how do I send it now, If I send as RGB the colour is wrong (I would need to convert everything in cmyk to 100%) if I export as cmyk Mac users will see it wrong.

I have a document which contains around 100 RGB bitmaps arranged in a collage. Now this is going to be printed offset, delivered via pdf with cmyk swopv2 color profile.
Most of the rgb to cmyk converted images look best with relative colormetric as they're fairly close to the cmyk gamut and this maintains the saturation and colors I'm looking for. However, some wider-gamut images look much better with perceptual rendering intent.
Is there any quick way to pick my rendering intent when doing individual bitmap mode conversions in draw, so I can hand select which images are converted using relative colormetric and which using perceptual?
i.e. click one bitmap, menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using perceptual,or menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using relative colormetric?
Right now the quickest way I can seem to achieve this is to manually set the whole color management to perceptual, select by eye and convert those images to cmyk that are well outside the cmyk gamut, then set it back to relative colormetric and generate the pdf cmyk which then makes those rgb images not manually converted while it was set to perceptual be converted via the now set relative colorimetric. It works, but I wish I had more interactive control on the mode conversion bitmap by bitmap.
