    there's a chance that that could happen if the file has been created in cmyk and then output as cmyk without proper conversion.

    • fuck, i meant if the file was created in rgb and then output as cmykhans_glib
    • The original was CMYK PSD then added to an ID file with other elements, then exported as a PDF.fadein11
    • all look great on screen in the apps but not when viewing the PDF. is there a setting when creating the PDF to reduce the change?fadein11
    • what are the pdf settings? some of the colour profiles can have an effecthans_glib
    • I have tried various - the stabndard CMYK and even no conversion as it looks fine in the app. but all look terrible in Finder and Preview.fadein11
    • terrible = a little too washed out, not awful. Do you find CMYK files lose their contrast as well as the colour shift?fadein11
    • I chalk it up to Finder using a monitor color profile and somehow interpreting 100% K as not "rich" blackmonospaced
