Deleting Color Definitions

2008-07-11 Thread Howard Rauch
Frame 7.0p76
Windows XP
I am creating a template for the third version of a catalog that is to be 
printed in grayscale and one spot color. Since the catalog has involved quite a 
number of drafts to establish the layout and has gradually evolved over time, 
it has a goodly number of useless RGB and CMYK color definitions. Although 
these appear to be harmless and are, for the most part, labeled Don't Print, 
I would prefer to delete them, particularly since the catalog is commercially 
printed and the printing firm setup crew complains about the RGB color 
definitions. Besides, in my view, they unnecessarily consume resources.
I have attempted to delete these colors (View/Color/Definitions), but they are 
not eliminated after I delete them. A message thet they are being used in the 
template also does not appear. What am I overlooking?

RE: Deleting Color Definitions

2008-07-11 Thread Lester C. Smalley
The extra colors are used in some graphic(s) in the template that uses an 
'indexed color' model instead of a full true color palette.  This could be a 
logo on a master page, icons on reference pages, etc.

If the output is to be grayscale and one spot color, replace any images with 
grayscale equivalents if at all possible.  Or get true color versions of the 
images, which do not add items to Frame's color catalog.

Once you have replaced the images, you either will not see the extra color 
definitions, or can readily deleted those not wanted in the production version 
of the template.

Lester is probably right about the source of the colors. We had some docs that 
contained 256-color PNGs, and those added hundreds of RGB x, y, z colors. 

We replaced the graphics with 24-bit (true color) PNGs, and then ran a script 
to delete the RGB colors, but they wouldn't go away. What got rid of them was a 
MIF wash (save FM file as MIF, open that, and save back to FM).

You can also do the same with paragraph  character formats,

Hi All,



I have a few dozen FM documents that each have at least 100 color
definitions that I would love to delete. Is there a way to delete them
all at once for a given document? Better yet, delete them at the book
level? I've tried saving the doc as a MIF file and opening it in notepad
but only the default color definitions appear. Strange but true.



Anyone have any ideas?

   Hello friends,

   FM 7.2 p158:

   There is no problem with PNG graphics with a pixel depth of 24 bits (16 mill
   of colours). However PNG graphics with 8bit pixel depth (256 colours) fill
   the colour catalogue with numbers of colours named RGB xxx,xxx.xxx.

   Although you can eleminate these definitions by saving as MIF (they will not
   be present in the MIF) or Klaus Müllers script Delete Unused Colours, these
   definitions are back after opening the MIF or saving the cleaned file …

   IMHO the filter not only fails for these files on import but is invoked also
   when displaying the file.

Well, if they are spurious colors with names like 
RGB Color 255, 255, 255, saving the file to MIF and then 
re-opening it in FrameMaker (or using the Wash via MIF
command that comes with the Mif2Go tool) will scrub them
out in one operation. But if they are real color definitions, I 
think you may be stuck with the one-at-a-time method or
seeing if it can be scripted via FrameScript.

Deleting color definitions

2006-08-23 Thread Gillian Flato
Is there an easy way to delete multiple color definitions? I am working
with a legacy file that has about 50 color definitions in it and they
are completely useless. I want to get the file down to about 10. I tried
to delete them in the Color Definitions dialog but you can only delete
them one at a time there.
 

Thanks,

Deleting color definitions

2006-08-23 Thread Ridder, Fred
Well, if they are spurious colors with names like 
RGB Color 255, 255, 255, saving the file to MIF and then 
re-opening it in FrameMaker (or using the "Wash via MIF"
command that comes with the Mif2Go tool) will scrub them
out in one operation. But if they are real color definitions, I 
think you may be stuck with the one-at-a-time method or
seeing if it can be scripted via FrameScript.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
