pdh Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have a document with both color and black and white photographs, as well as black text. When I set the Color Panel to CMYK 0,0,0,100 so that the text prints as 100% black, that color panel is that way for all the photographs as well. When I export in PDF/X-1a2003, (which is supposed to use CMYK) how does the Color Panel effect this export? Do the color photographs then apply CMYK 0,0,0, 100? I also have set under "More", color space: As document and ICC Profile, use document profile. But wouldn't these cause the photographs to switch to CMYK 0,0,0,100? It appears that the color photographs are exporting in color, but why would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are colour photos in a cmyk document. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
