2-15 Advanced workflows
The diagram below indicates the steps for this particular workflow in black.
Photoshop RGB and QuarkXPress CMYK
This workflow exemplifies the use of the RGB Separation feature of
ColorWise. An RGB image, originally saved in Photoshop, is printed to the
iR C2100/2100S from QuarkXPress. To simulate how the RGB image would
print on an offset press, the RGB Separation feature of ColorWise is set to
Simulation. This workflow—useful for proofing brochures, newsletters, and
other layouts—lets you maintain consistency by using the source RGB file for
multiple purposes.
This document could be created as follows:
• Create an RGB image in Photoshop and save it as Photoshop EPS.
• Place the EPS image in a QuarkXPress document.
• Create several process-colored page elements alongside the image and
print.
• Use ColorWise to convert the RGB image to simulated press CMYK and
to adjust the process colors for proofing to the copier/printer.
The ColorWise settings used in this example are:
• RGB Source Profile set to EFIRGB or another RGB source definition
• Rendering Style set to Photographic
• RGB Separation set to Simulation
