dwalk Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I have a book cover I'm preparing to export to pdf for printing by Lulu Press. I want color space to be sRGB IEC61996-2.1. In File / Document Setup, under the color tab the color format reads RGB/8 (color profile sRGB IEC61996-2.1). There are two boxes below this information: Assign and Convert. Am I supposed to select Assign or Convert? I can't find any guidance on this. Later in the Export window for pdf, my five choices for export color space are: "As document", CMYK, RGB, RGBunbounded, and Gray. As I mentioned above, I want color space to be sRGB IEC61996-2.1. Should I leave it "As document", or should I select RGB, or RGBunbounded? What is RGBunbounded? Your guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Those buttons are only relevant if you're changing the color format to a different one. 54 minutes ago, dwalk said: Later in the Export window for pdf, my five choices for export color space are: "As document", CMYK, RGB, RGBunbounded, and Gray.
