I've always wondered why pitstop doen'st have something like photoshop....the north american prepress defaults as a pull down preference. These seem to work pretty well in most of our coated jobs.

I'm thinking...is it technically difficult? Or is there some copyright problem that makes it hard for enfocus to do it. Dunno. I've never had any luck setting up color management in pitstop...went through all the steps to no avail. Don't know why though.

It's a real pain using the touchup object tool in acrobat for big pdfs and sometimes even this does not work. Says it's an unkown color space or the pdf has been so stitched up (like a publisher pdf which looks like a quilt) that it's insane to edit each little bit of the picture. I've had more luck recreating the ps file and letting distiller manage the color. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't imagine life without pitstop but the color managment issue has always been a big problem. If a competitor came out that could make the color management simple and do all the other things that pitstop does, I'd look twice.
