One thing that impressed me about the beta testing was that MadCap really encouraged testers to report b

2006-08-18 Thread Ridder, Fred
The simple fact is that there is no direct translation from CMYK to RGB because these different color models are built on a totally different basis in physics. RGB is an additive color model because you're dealing with points of light (glowing phosphor dots on a CRT or back-lit crystals on an LCD).
