CorelDRAW X5 :: Converting Many RGB To CMYK Bitmaps - Relative Vs Perceptual

May 20, 2011

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.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Converting Registration Black Into CMYK

Mar 6, 2012

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.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Color Management - Converting CMYK To Pantone

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Pantone Conversion Tables When Converting To CMYK

Aug 23, 2012

Recently found another bug in X6. This time it is in the Pantone conversion tables when converting to cmyk. I had a job that had been updated over the years and the file was last used in X5. The colour in question was PMS 7406. The file opened fine & was converted to cmyk and sent to the printer unchecked. What could possibly go wrong - this file had been used countless times before without incident. Pantone 7406 breaks down to 18% magenta and 100% yellow (as per Pantone's own specification). X5 converted it to 17% magenta and 100% yellow. Near enough - I'm not going to quibble over 1%. However, opening the X5 file in X6 caused it to use the 'Pantone previous version' colour table (and you don't get any notification that it is doing it). Result is that it now converts the colour to 18% cyan, 24% magenta and 100% yellow. Where the #@**# did it get the cyan from? We are now talking about a completely different color!

It gets worse. If you create a new object in X6 and fill it with PMS 7406 (using the Pantone + colour table) and then convert it to cmyk, you get 6% cyan, 22% magenta and 100% yellow. Again, this is not the correct break down of this colour.  Pantone is a world standard with known conversion to cmyk figures. InDesign can get it right, Illustrator can get it right, then why can't Corel? And how many other Pantone colours are wrong? I have used Draw for 20 years and this is the worst bungle yet (apart from version 4). For a program that tells the world it is a professional program to screw up like this beggars belief.

If we have to check every single Pantone to cmyk conversion against the Pantone specifications, then it just isn't worth using Corel in printing. Add this to the font problems in Font Navigator and the scale error in Barcode Generator and it make X6 pretty much useless in the print industry. Throwing in freebies like fonts, second rate web creators and Photo Paint are not much use when the flagship program is sinking.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 :: Converting Bitmaps To Vectors

Oct 23, 2012

I have simple outline drawings - like stars or paisleys - that I scan into PhotoPaint X5. So, to turn it into a vector drawing, I manually fill the outline drawing with the paintbrush, convert it to 1 bit, import it into CorelDraw, use the Trace Bitmap - outline trace - clip art, then do a hairline outline and remove the fill. I end up with a hairline outline of the original object that I can send to my laser. The objects must remain the same size as the original drawing.

Here's why I do some of what I outlined above. First, I manually fill the drawing because if I try to do the trace bitmap in CorelDraw X5 using the outline trace, it traces both the inside and the outside of the original line drawing because the line is thick. If I try the Trace Bitmap and select Centerline Trace, I the result is a jaggy line which won't work.

I think what I need most is a way to fill the object automatically rather than paint the inside of it. I thought I could just select the object in PhotoPaint and click on the fill, but it seems that the "object" is the outline drawing plus the background, so the fill ends up being the whole "object" including the background. I can Lasso the outline drawing and move it around on the background, but can't figure out how to do much else.

I have the CMYK ref for the logo, and this looks fine when I print it out. However, when viewed online or just on the computer - the background red is slightly brighter than in print.

I have tried using an RGB converter to change CMYK to RGB but this hasn't done anything.

GIMP :: Converting RGB To CMYK

Nov 28, 2012

My CreateSpace pdf in both the Proofer online and the hard copy I just received have great color variance from what I submitted in my pdf cover and interior files. The vibrancy's gone. The bright spring green is dull. The light bluegreens more like gray.

SO, next to learn: I need to know the easiest way to convert my RGB to CMYK files, so I can replace what I've got in my CreateSpace book project interior and exterior spots. I would like to do this in the pdf state, from RGB pdf to CMYK pdf. I am happy to do page by page. The 44-page book has text, plus color images (from original watercolor paintings), with some black ink drawings as well. I work on a MacBook 10.6.8. I assembled the pdfs (page by page as "images") in GIMP 2.8. The original text I formatted in iStudio, easily uploading into GIMP, as images, then working each image in layers. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that flattened images can't be unflattened, so if I need to go back to a pre-pdf pages ('images' in GIMP lingo), I'll have to do quite a bit of reconstructing. The last layered building steps are now bound within the flattened images in 44-page pdf. Fortunately, I can easily alter one page at a time within my full pdf. I want to find an RGB to CMYK conversion that I can do page by page, popping out and back into my full pdf.

Photoshop :: Converting RGB To CMYK - Shortcuts

Unfortunately some are RGB, some are CMYK and all are layered. I'm wondering if there is some kind of preset or shortcut that enables me to convert them all to flattened CMYK PSDs, without having to open each one up and change it manually.

Photoshop :: Converting From RGB To CMYK Alters Shadows

Dec 5, 2012

When working with our product photos, I keep them in RGB and add drop shadows to them by drawing  rectangular marquees on a separate layer, fill them with black and then apply gaussian and motin blur to them. Works quite well. Plus with the shadow on it's own layer, I can turn it off in InDesign if need be.

The problem is when I convert the photo to CMYK for offset printing. It's asks if I want merge the layers to which I say no since I want to be able to turn the shadows off if need be, but when I say no, then the shadows get bigger and do not look as good as they did in RGB. If I say yes to merge, then the shadows look the same as they did in RGB but I lose the ability to turn them off in InDesign.
 
Is there a way to keep the shadows looking the same when converted to CMYK without having to merge the layers? Using PS CS6 64 bit.

Photoshop :: Converting CMYK Design To K+1PMS

Apr 8, 2008

My design was originally created as a CMYK. Now, it needs to be converted to a Black + one PMS. Using channels, then copying and pasting portions into a new PMS channel, I thought I had it. However, two portions of the design are not looking right, and they were grayscale from the get-go!:

1) The grayscale photo I placed in the design is very washed out and I don't know why. It almost appears like it has hard light on it.

2) The grayscale illy design that I placed in this Photoshop design is also washed out.

It's almost as if the mid-range color (albeit grayscale) has been lost.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm placing the design into an InDesign piece, and have half a mind to just delete the photo and graphic from Photoshop, and then bring them in straight into ID.....

Is there a way to keep the visual effects of the RGB modes like, multiply, screen, etc. when converting the file to CMYK.

Photoshop :: Rich Black When Converting RGB To CMYK

Feb 22, 2008

My problem is that I am converting RGB native images to CMYK and my Key (Black) comes out rich, contains equal levels of CMY and K, instead of true black, only k.

Currently my way around this is to do the standard convert to profile CMYK and with my path selected to the section I would like to be true black simply turn off all CM and Y channels and re-save the image but this is a little labor intensive.

Is there a way that I can go straight from RGB to CMYK and achieve true black without alteration?

Illustrator :: Converting Spot To Process - CMYK Values

Jul 2, 2012

When I use a Pantone color in CS5 and then convert to process, I get certain values for CMYK. However, when I use that same Pantone color in CS6 and convert to process, I get different values for CMYK.
 
For example, Pantone 2685C converted to process in the both applications yields:

(CS5)  C-96, M-100, Y-0, K-10
(CS6)  C-90.73, M-100, Y-30.6, K-16.54

Photoshop :: Converting Screen Layer Blend Modes To CMYK

Mar 21, 2012

I've created some graphic artwork in Photoshop RGB, and now its time to output these graphics to an Illustrator CMYK file.
 
I have a bunch of layers that I have created for lens flares / light effects and I created these via filling a layer black and then using the Lens Flare Filter and then converting the layer to a Screen layer blend.
 
I notice that when I convert to CMYK in photoshop I lose the effect of those screen layers, is there anyway I can get those layers to look the same in CMYK without having recreate them from scratch in the CMYK space?
 
In my illustrator file I have a gradient background and was hoping to bring in these transparent lens flare lighting effects to place over the top of the gradient. I was thinking I might be able to merge the layers in Photoshop but unfortunately I need those screen layers to remain transparent.
   
I also tried turning the layer to normal 100%, convert to CMYK, placing into my CMYK illustrator file and then changing the layer to screen mode there but its doesnt look the same, its turn transparent like I wanted but it looks like where there is transparency there is a 25% opacity white.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Rotated Bitmaps Have Jagged Edges?

Nov 18, 2011

I just noticed that bitmap images always get jagged edges when rotated in Corel Draw X5. I first thought it's just the editing preview on the screen, but I've noticed that the edges are visible even when exported to any bitmap at 300dpi. So now I worry if the jagged images will also be visible in print!?

note that imported images are all in approx 12MP resolution, so when I import them, I actually reduce the size by converting the photo to 300dpi bitmap with anti-aliasing ON. I tried rotating prior to and after the "Convert to bitmap 300DPI" command. The edges are always jagged. Other parts of the image besides the edges are well anti-aliased.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Reflections For Bitmaps

Jun 9, 2013

I've found a couple of discussions on creating reflections for vector objects, but what about bitmaps?

Whilst searching through stock photos, I started noticing some of those common isolated images on a "reflective" surface are rather lazily created resulting in just plain wrong reflections. I'm talking mostly about those "people standing around" images, but it could apply to anything.

Here's an example of what I mean:

Now if these folks were standing on a reflective surface, their reflections would meet where they touch. Note how some appear to be standing on one foot, because the reflection of the other foot doesn't meet. Or it looks like they're standing on their toes because the heel is off. Obviously this was done by simply flipping the image and fading it.

Here's a link to the stock photo if you want to see the whole thing. Here's another one where everyone appears to be standing on their toes.

A couple of times I've attempted to correct this by creating my own reflections. With some fudging and distortion of the reflected outline, I managed, but typically had to have a very fast fade. Easier to create a vector trace, then shade it grey and use that. It gets increasingly more difficult the more distinct and clear you want the reflection. Studying reality, if someone were standing on a mirror, their reflection would have the perspective of looking up at them from the bottom.

So how would you approach creating a reflection from a bitmap where there is no straight line defining the reflection line?
