SV: CMYK in Frame

[Jacob Schäffer]

Hedley,

CMYK in Frame basically involves two quite different problems:

(1) Imported bitmapped objects doesn't maintain fidelity downstream

(2) CMYK colors for vector-based art defined *inside* Frame gets totally wrecked downstream.

As of (1):

Your point about storing RGB image data is *extremely* good as long as you mean Color Managed RGB data *including* ICC profiles.

If so, you can't use EPS reliably at all and *must* use PDF as storage format for such objects.

As of (2):

No comments at this time.
