Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR inkseparation image embedded profile Problem in Print Tool

2016-01-20 by Roy Harrington

Just to clarify - yes Print-Tool does show sRGB for the untagged file. This is
due to OSX's insistance to CM everywhere. The standard file routines add sRGB
to files regardless. Be assured as long as you select No Color Management you
will be OK. If by chance you do something that causes a CM action the
results are very obvious so there's no danger of missing it.

Richard,

Thank you so much for clearing this up. I didn't check the lower box which is what confused me since I still got the embedded sRGB profile. I checked the top box- Leave as Is. I suspected the issue was either Adobe or El Capitan (I'm not a fan). However, the tutorial I was using said Untagged must be shown in the embedded box. I did try once with CS5 instead of CS6- same result. Now that I know it doesn't matter as long as No Color Management is selected in Print Tool I will go ahead with my linearization. Thanks again. You saved me a lot of time and research.

Cheers,
Charlie

I'm sorry, but I haven't had coffee yet when I read your post. You are using print tool....

I think there was some point that when you saved the ink step image in Photoshop the box that says save with srgb was checked (your working space?) just open it back in Photoshop, make your changes to the ink sep image and then when you save as... Make sure you don't have the check box with "embed color profile" at the bottom of save dialog box checked.

In any case printing in print tool with no color management should ignore whatever embedded color profile embedded is in there and should print fine. (Haven't tested that is a while yet though...)

Sorry about the confusion in my last message.
