MickRose Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 If I use the grey swatches in the Greys swatches, then these are really CMYK (or RGB) colours and not tints of black. For example Black 80% is C=67, M=60, Y=56, K=66. Users beware. I can see why Serif do this but I'd much prefer all grays to be just tints of black. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM
Old Bruce Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Computer monitors are RGB so your wish is impossible to implement.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
MickRose Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 I'm not bothered what greys look like on a screen - it's the final PDF that matters. If the panel says "Black 80%" I think it's reasonable that the PDF should be Black 80%. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM
MikeW Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Create your own gray pallette. I did. This was the first truly stupid thing I found in AD the first time I started it years ago. Unless Serif has changed the palettes, if you edit one, switch to cmyk sliders, it will lie to you as well. Moving the K slider a bit and then moving it back will be correct. Quote
MickRose Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 To be honest I've just realised the palettes can be edited and renamed. So I've now got a palette called "Greys K only" with all the grey values using just black. Easy when you know how. MikeW 1 Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM
