An obvious way of seeing the document's colour format


Recommended Posts

Is there anyway to open a document and immediately see if it's an RGB or CMYK document?

 

In Designer, I have to click the Document Properties button and then click on the color tab.

In Photo I have to go to the Document menu and select Colour Format.

 

These are really hidden, and the worst mistake I can make is sending an RGB document to print. I need some way to immediately see my document's colour format so if I think it's CMYK, but it's actually RGB, I should be able to stumble across it and be made aware of it.

 

In illustrator, the colour format is in the file name, along with the zoom scale. This would be a simple solution since you already put the scale in the file name in both applications.

 

What would be very nice, is to have a small RGB icon next to the Preferences button. This could change to a CMYK icon, and then a grey icon. (As added functionality, could it also be a conversion button?)

 

Attached is a screenshot of my proposed icon.
