A screen capture of a RGB representation of a CMYK image in a professional graphics program isn't a very common requirement. What does the screen capture from Illustrator look like if you simply paste it into Windows Paint? On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 12:11 PM, Heiko Haida wrote: > > Hi Jacob, > > m

Well, Craig, thats easy to explain: When I use Illustrator or Indesign, a colour will not change its screen representation if I switch from CMYK definition to RGB definition. That is not a miracle or a question of "who knows" (these programs use HSB definitions, and obviously the conversion w

Given the theoretical differences I'm not sure why you would expect RGB output of CMYK colors to be close to what CMYK color should looks like. Think of it this way, if you choose a Pantone color as a spot color, you'd expect it to print exactly like as that Pantone color to paper. But to the

Hi Craig, whatever the theoretical and technical differences of RGB and CMYK colours are: The FrameMaker RGB output of CMYK-colours is not even close to how the CMYK output looks like. I am (still) using FM 10, btw. Therefore I always produce CMYK pdfs first and use Acrobat preflighting to
