Do I apply any in ID, or as I'm exporting to PDF? I assume I would need different profiles depending on whether I created the photo as a monotone PMS or as a grayscale? I may have to be led through this step by step I fear.
I will try and attach the PDF...may have to be zipped due to maximum file size on these forums...
Cheers for the help so far guys  . |
You will have to check "Color Settings" within Photoshop to see what profile it is using. Then when you go to save you have the option to include the profile or not. I prefer not to. Then I don't use any color management in InDesign at export time and I have color management turned off in Acrobat. Others here might be using it, I just prefer not to.
As far as viewing the color seps...the difference you are seeing has nothing to do with color profiles. It's just the way it displays it on screen. It shouldn't alter the way it is output.
Also what kind of monitor are you viewing it on? I've found a lot of times if you are viewing a very dark image on an LCD monitor it will look okay on screen but then it is very dark when output. Could this be the case?
