Re: Help making BW profiles

2009-06-30 by Tyler Boley

never convert or alter a profile creation chart, it will make the resulting profile invalid. CS4 has created some color management dilemmas, one would hope that Adobe, of all people, would keep the color management processes viable over time.
Anyway, I think your option is to select printer manages color, which will avoid any conversions when printing with qtr. Other drivers, not so sure.
Actually, once you have your profile in use that setting will probably never get used again anyway, you'll let Photoshop mange color and find your profile...
If you are printing on a PC, I believe you will be converting to it in Photoshop and saving before opening the file in qtr to print.

"Select "no color management" is not possible for me because the no color management option is grayed out for me in CS4 until I convert the 51 patch file to RGB.  Is this a step that has been left out or am I forgetting something?
