Dear David, It's (loosely) like lots of items occupying space in a drawer, where they will only fit in the drawer if arranged in an exact configuration. Then you decide to move house and you have to buy a new set of drawers because the old ones won't fit anywhere. So, all your stuff doesn't fit into the new drawers the same way as before. Time to throw some socks out! This is age-old problem of essentially moving data from one colour space (RGB) to another, different shaped space (CMYK) - something has to give. This can either be done crudely and blindly but, with thought and consideration, data can be re-mapped in very elegant ways. With knowledge and experience, extremely pleasing results can be achieved. There's no short-cut, I'm afraid, other than lots and lots of reading and real-world experience. Well, there is one short-cut - paying somebody like me to do it for you! <BG> I, and many others, mentioned in a recent thread that now is the time to start taking control of this aspect of digital supply if you haven't already.
