colors look dull in pdf

[behzad]

Hi, I have brought this subject up before, but when I export a pdf with the same settings from xara and compare it with the same output from photoshop, in acrobat the photoshop one looks much brighter and colors look much closer to the actual image than the one outputed in xara.

If someone can tell me why that would be great, cause I really like to use pdf export in xara

in Photoshop did you export PDF from RGB or CMYK?

[behzad]

from RGB since pdf in photoshop is translated to CMYK
