Paul Buttrill Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm trying to export an image as a TIFF with CMYK and LZW compression but it doesn't seem to be working. 1. I checked 'Document setup' colour format was set to CMYK/8. 2. 'Export' as a TIFF. 3. Clicked the 'More' button and changed the 'Pixel format' to CMYK 8-bit and 'Compression' to LZW. 4. When I checked the exported file it says the colour representation is 'Uncalibrated'. I don't know what I've missed or have done wrong while exporting.

Staff NathanC Posted September 22, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hi @Paul Buttrill welcome to the forums, As Psenda mentioned, Windows Properties isn't a particularly reliable method of identifying image metadata such as Colour space, according to some sources online, this will typically default to uncalibrated in Properties if it isn't sRGB. The CMYK profile is being embedded in the TIFF even with LZW compression which I confirmed via Apple Preview. Paul Buttrill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Buttrill Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 That's great. Thanks. In future how could I check the properties other than using Windows properties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
