Lin I'd always assumed that they were a hangover from the days of lithographic printing, where separations had to be created... er... separately for each color plate. Like, 2-plate, 3-plate, 4-plate, 6-plate and so on. Even now when PDF is (I guess) a fairly universal pre-press format, preflighting software will warn you if you have too many color definitions in a pre-press file.
I've found color views useful in the past when dealing with tired old documents that have been through a great many hands and accumulated zillions of random color definitions that aren't actually used. -- Steve _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
