CMYK colour profile change without destroying whole project.


Recommended Posts

Hi

Situation:

I have project with CMYK 0,0,0,100 (for example) and FOGRA39 profile assigned. Does it possible to change this profile (f.e. to U.S. Web Coated) without losing information about CMYK parameters? All i want is to keep 100% black for print purposes.

Maybe you need a devicelink profile, I used one for PSOcoated v3 a while ago. On the fly I haven't found one for your purpose. But there is software out there  doing this like https://colorlogic.de/en/copra/

  1. From the File menu, select Document Setup.
  2. From the dialog:
    • Select the Colour tab.
    • From the Colour Profile pop-up menu, select a profile.
    • Select Assign or Convert.
      Assign adopts the new profile but leaves the values of the colours/pixels as is. Convert converts each colour from the old profile to the new one—colour/pixel values may change as a result.
    • Click OK.

 

Try to ASSIGN a new profile to your document. It may be what you want here.

Strange, but I'm pretty sure that "assign" does not work for me when I tried it (few times with different profiles so maybe it is just my fault and I done something wrong by the way). I have many tables and drawings (pixel) in document and when I changed profile by assigning it - table content and borders colour lose k:100 but drawings still keeping grayscale. 

Anyway - I thought it is problem in method. It is not - Your recipe works like a charm (I checked it on a fresh document).

 

Thank You.
