FM 8.0 Image color glitch

2008-05-01 Thread Valerie Lipow
I have a weird problem with images (.jpg) imported by reference or copied into FM: the image colors are very strange. For example, a white (blank) background displays as either magenta or black (or green). Flesh-colored hues display as royal blue. Black displays as white. Green displays as orange.

Hi Valerie, Are any of the problem images rotated in your Frame document? In other words, they display in landscape mode in Photoshop, and you turn them 90 degrees to portrait mode in Frame. In my experience that produces the effect you describe. Berny Gagne Lead Writer Husky Injection Molding

OT: Monitor for color correction

2008-05-01 Thread Hedley Finger
Sorry everybody. The point I was trying to make that LCD/LED monitors have "individual LED backlights for each pixel". Because the LED is already a coloured primary light source of greater purity than a fluoro backlight + colour filter can produce, you get a greater gamut. And, because the

Just a quick question- can anyone tell me why putting your entire 300+ page manual into one FM file would make sense? I was always taught that splitting it out one file per chapter was the safest and best way to go, but I've just seen an example of the one large file approach. Does anyone else do
