XaraX2 request for Charles Moir: re:eps import

[Klaus Nordby]

Maybe an approach like in Illustrator could be a good idea: you set the document's global color space to _either_ RGB _or_ CMYK, with no possibilitiy of mixing the two modes later. In XX, there is no "hand-holding" regarding color space, and all kinds of mixes seem possible -- which will in most cases result in problems later in the workflow. I cannot count all the times I have _thought_ I defined nothing but CMYK colors, but some little RGB bastard was stuck in there nevertheless.

It can be troublesome. The workaraounds are always lurking under the surface. Hitting the print button brings many surprises. Ghost lines in CMYK are the things I deal with most. I have to scrape them off the vellum with an exacto. Sometimes this can take quite a bit of time, other times I have to look for other solutions for output or file setup.

If someone at Xara Ltd wanted to see an example of the ghost lines that show in a CMYK sep I've attached a file for print sampling. All the colors are CMY or K so RGB shouldn't be showing up, but they do. Must be something hidden or a mix of CMYK & RGB going on somewhere in the tools code. Then again, it could be something I'm doing.... hope not
