No more conversion to CMYK, why?

Well, when one has been removed from Snow Leopard's Preview (remember that "Tools > Match To…" menu?) I thought that maybe it'll be back in Lion but magics so hyped by Apple didn't happen — Lion still has no way to convert RGB images into CMYK

You don't need to convert it to CMYK first. The pdf settings will take care of that.
Go to 'save as', select 'photoshop pdf' and when the dialogue box comes up, use settings similar to this...

  • Printing RGB colors - Conversion to CMYK?

    Hi,
    I have been working for a little while in converting my old RGB colors to CMYK printer friendly colors.
    However, I carefully choosed my printing friendly CMYK colors to be as close as possible to the RGB colors but the prints are dull !
    On the other hand, when I print my file withj RGB colors using the PDF Distiller tagged with Adobe1998 profile and send the file to the printer, colors look smarter !
    It means that the CMYK colors I picked myself are not good enough anf the Color Managment in Adobe PDF or Illustrator are better than me ! As follows:
    - In Illustrator -> Print -> Color Management tab -> Color Handling: Let Illustrator determine colors
    - in Acrobat Reader -> Print -> Color Management tab of the plotter: Application managed colors
    Both ouput similar quality prints, and better than my own CMYK colors !
    Are the Application Color Management engines in Illustrator and in Adobe Reader similar in their conversion?
    How can I find out which are the CMYK colors printed when the application (Reader or Illustrator) manages colors, from my initial RGB colors? I would like to use them directly in my document...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I put these color issues on hold because I had no time to search more on that recently...
    However, I have still lots of questions about color conversion!
    When I said "carefully choose" CMYK colors, it means CMYK colors printable and which look similar to my old RGB colors on-screen. But of course, screen is not enough!
    What I noticed is that when I print my old RGB colors (not in printer color space), Adobe Reader or Illustrator were able to make good conversion to CMYK for printing.
    Now, I would like to find out to which CMYK color codes Adobe Reader or Illustrator converted my RGB colors? Then, I would be able to use these CMYK color codes directly in my application...
    Is there any way to find out that?
    Cheers

  • My dad bought an iPhone 4S, and I have the exact same model. Neither of us have the iOS6 update. His phone has 4G, mine doesn't. He also has more features than I. Why is that?

    Both of you should update to iOS 6 and then you will be
    the same if you have the same  model iPhone.

  • I have an ipod 3 and i cant update it more then 4.1 why?

    i have an ipod 2g and i cant update it more then 4.1 why?

    To go to iOS 4.2.1 you need iTunes 10 or later on the computer. If a Mac that requires OSX 10,5,8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    Flash was designed for computers with cooling systems, it runs fine on my single core Atom netbook even.
    The new iOS devices come with dual core Atom-like A4 netbook processors, but atlas! no Flash.
    It's because Flash needs cooling and those iOS devices don't have it.
    So dump the phone if the lack of Flash is such a bother, it's a overpriced, over rated phone that has little purpose that a regular phone with text messaging, a laptop, a GPS, a camera and a iPod can do so much better and cheaper as they are separate devices with more abilities.

  • Indesign CS7 Cloud PMS conversion to cmyk

    Previous CS6 pms to cmyk conversion to get the same values as older versions CS5 and older, this was the work around:
    Adobe InDesign CS6:
    Quit the application
    From the folder Adobe InDesign CS6/Presets/Swatch Libraries/, remove all the libraries that have names starting with Pantone+
    From any older version of Adobe InDesign (CS2 - CS5) copy all the Pantone libraries with extension .acb and place into: Adobe InDesign CS6/Presets/Swatch Libraries/
    Similarly, copy all Pantone libraries with extension .acbl and place into: Adobe InDesign CS6/Presets/Swatch Libraries/Legacy/
    Restart your application.
    I've tried same thing in Cloud indesign and it dose not work, the cmyk values are not the same , for example pantone 485 C in indesign CS 5 is 95 M 100Y, but now in Cloud Pantone 485 C is 7.32 C, 97.5M,100Y, .71K, this is after replacing all the Pantone swatch files in CC with ones from Indesign CS 5, which worked great for CS6, I know i can use the Bridge Library to get Pantone 485CP which converts to the old 95-100 values but that is not what i want, we get files all the time from clients, now they will be using the same pms numbers and expecting the same colours on their digital proofs.
    Any ideas?

    no, once pantone 485 has been added to the swatch list, if you go to convert it to cmyk values, it will convert to the wrong values, i know adobe changed this in CS6 in an attempt to create more consistent results for printing devices but it has created prepress problems for printers

  • Facetime incoming audio fails after 50 minute conversation... why?

    Not only Facetime, but Skype will loose incoming audio if the conversation exceeds 50 minutes (approximately).  Outgoing audio and  video in / out aren't affected.  The 'fix' is to restart the app.  This happens 100% of the time.  The failure is always the same... incoming audio becomes progressively more choppy until it is unintelligible  The progression from perfect audio to unintelligible audio take about 30 seconds.   Audio I/O is via USB using a 'Focusrite Scarlett 2i2' audio interface, but have had the same problem with a Behringer and an Edirol USB interface. Any idea what might be going wrong?

    I have a similar problem with FT audio, except that in my case the problem seems localized to an iPad 3G that has problems SENDING  audio to an iPad 2G.
    We switched to FT a couple of months ago because of poor quality when using Skype, and FT was noticeably better for the first few calls. However, we have now started getting loss of audio from the iPad 3G after 5-10 min. In one case, the audio returned for 5-10 sec., but then never came back.
    We now switch to Skype when this problem occurs; the quality is not so good, but the audio does not drop out.
    The owner of the iPad 3G has had similar problems in other FT calls.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might happen? Could marginal upload bandwidth at the IPad 3G end cause this? (It seems unlikely; I would expect FT to shed video before audio so that the users could still communicate effectively.)

  • RGB conversion to CMYK InDesign CS4 js

    Hi,
    When we export InDesign into pdf through a script we assign to it a specific color profile. And at first it was converting all RGB files to CMYK as well. Then after one of the crashes my InDesign stopped to convert them. Is there a way to fix that? And maybe I need to give to you more specific information. Please let me know.
    Your help is highly appreciated.

  • Using more than one computer, why? so hard

    I seen the posts or some of them, about trying to use ipod on more than one machines. Win XP.
    I use my ipod primary with my home computer, but work weekends and was hoping listen to my music whilst in the office. Plus easy backup of my library, Im lazy.
    I was surprised to find it not a simple task. I was hoping just to install itunes on my work machine, plug in my ipod and have my songs copied to this work library, noop.
    The methods I seen so far involve copying music second time to ipod (HD) or to CD and then moving onto second computer. Forget these methods, watching grass grow is more fun.
    Question is why so difficult?, the music on my ipod is all purchased on itunes legimately or from CD's I purchased. Why is it so messy to have my library where ever I want it.
    Surely Apple has enough clout now to dictate how it should work to the Record Company$$$. Getting music online is more convenient, but quality and the fact the song you brought more like a DVD rental then something one owns.
    I am all for music protection, that why I buy music via itunes, cause I want it to work. But seriously it wrong making it so difficult, that can't have hotswap library from one computer to next.
    Anyway accept the unacceptable, PS if I am wrong and it is possible let me know,thanks

    I checked the link provide the solutions are the ones I mentioned, they really not viable.
    Why is it connect my ipod to my work computer can't simply transfer songs to this library.
    The solutions provide involve copying to CD, etc.., when the songs are on the ipod already?
    Questions still remains unanswered.
    Why is it necessary to transfer songs via different method when the songs are on the ipod, and the ipod is connected to the second computer.

  • Setting Fonts and In Conversation Fonts different - why?

    Hi there,
    I am wondering why, when I am in a conversation, I am able to choose a font (like Kalinga, for example) that when I try and change it in my Lync settings as a default - does not exist as a choice.
    I don't understand how Kalinga (and other fonts) are not available from the Options menu in Lync, but can be selected from the font options when I'm actually in a conversation with someone. Any idea why this is the case? Can you import other fonts into Lync?
    Thanks!

    I tested with Lync 2010, I have the same behavior.
    With Lync 2013, I can choose the font Kalinga and other fonts in Lync setting.

  • Indesign CS6 PMS conversion to cmyk

    Hi all, CS 6 Indesign has changed the pms to cmyk colour conversion based on Lab values which creates a lot of problems for us.
