Hello! Question about color correction.
Got a lot of experience with CorelDraw. I got a color reference book of my printing company. If I want a special fancy color, I can look it up in the book, enter the CMYK receipt, and it will print out like this. 1. make new scribus document 2. doesn't matter, if cms is enabled or not 3. define 2 new colors: blackK = 0/0/0/100% CMYK blackCMY = 100/100/100/0% CMYK 4. draw 2 rect. and fill with the two new colors (note, the two blacks look equal on screen, but with enabled cms there should be a noteable difference between them! Try this with Corel or Photoshop!) 5. print/print color separations to file 6. view this file with gv mh, the blackCMY was converted to 0/0/0/100 ! To my mind, this is not correct. The cms should only correct for the display, and correct RGB for printing. CMYK Objects should not be touched, only if color coverage is more then 280% because otherwise this will glue and stuck the paper in a offset printing machine :=) In Corel this is an extra option which has to be enabled. Now who is responsible for this? A printed color reference is the best preview u can get. But it does not help if something mixed it up again :-( Any ideas how to handle this? chris ps: can anyone verify this with placing CMYK bitmaps in scribus? I dont have some right now ...
