    Default Re: Need CMYK images

    Normally you would need to open the colour gallery and choose the CMYK.xar, right-click and choose 'Show in color-line' - but although the folder shows, it does not expand to show the included CMYK colours.
    Bill's file appears to be incompatible with P&GD7 (or Xtreme 4, 5 and Designer Pro 6)

    Here's how it looks in Designer Pro 7

    I can only use the colors that are in the color line in order to be ready for print?

    Monica you can use the predefined colors on the color line and create your own with the Color Editor as long as you remember to keep the CMYK color model active.

    You should also enable the Simulate Print Colors to see how the colors will print.

    Do note that the simulate color option gets one closer to what will be printed, but the fact is that one is still looking at a back-lit monitor and the colors on-screen may or may not be even close to accurate.

    If you continue doing work for print, I heartily recommend picking up some color swatch books, on printed to uncoated stock and one printed to coated stock. These swatch books are a far more accurate means of judging what CMYK color looks like when printed.

    Take care, Mike

    I finally got it to look like your picture. I had to go to File ... Open instead of double clicking on it.

    So much to learn! Yikes! I still am confused but I will try to muddle my way through it.

    If you have any other suggestions or tips please feel free to add them and I will study them.

    Thanks!

    Very odd. The CMYK.xar folder in the colour gallery doesn't even expand to show any colours, the colour line loads as the 'Standard Palette'.
    If I disable the Standard Palette and choose the CMYK.xar to show on colour line, I get an empty colour line..
    Doesn't matter which way I open the CMYK.xar

    Same thing in all other Xara versions except DP7 (which your file was produced in)

    Maybe a bad upload, there were thunderstorms in the area when I post the file. Here is the file again.

    No change with the new file Bill.
    Even tried on Laptop running Vista and P&PD7 - exact same thing.

    I haven't a clue Steve. Do you have Remove unused colors disabled?
