Re: Balancing grayscale images for offset printing

<r>Attachments :Just ask the printer and if unsure, please ask them to first print a digital proof so you can see a close approach of the print result. If you use special paper that needs to be thought of, too. "White" in your images can only be as white as the paper is (unless an extra layer with w...

Re: Balancing grayscale images for offset printing

<r>Attachments <E>:P</E>rint processes differ so much that it's best to contact the printing studio and ask them for recommendations regarding e.g. ICC profiles and dot gain. As a rule of thumb I'd be careful with too dark areas, at one point everything looks pitch black in the output and details ge...

Re: Fill Question

<t>Hi David, "jaggies" occur when the brush/pencil is too hard and/or the resolution of the image is already too low. The keyword is anti-aliasing. Try a different (smoother) pencil/brush shape. Another technique would be to use a high res image, apply the diagonal line, then resize to the smaller i...

Re: Graphic Convertor CMYK Mode Issues

<r>Here is a short follow up to my last message: When reopening the tif file in GC I get a color: CMYK color space: sRGB info. No silly alpha channels. I don't know where (and why) that was added. The same file reports in Photoshop as CMYK with a "Generic CMYK" profile. Both applications show relati...

Re: Graphic Convertor CMYK Mode Issues [1 Attachment]

<r>Hi Bob, I'm not sure why your file should contain an alpha channel unless you want to mask parts of the image. Not that it's a problem for layout / dtp software like InDesign or QuarkXPress but you end up with a higher file size plus that's IMHO one more factor that might puzzle your Finder's pre...

Re: Upgrade policy?

<t>Let's hope your boat doesn't sink... If you search for "GraphicConverter" you might spot two versions. I'm not sure how you get the idea that software purchased via app store (or through other sales channels) comes with free future versions. The same goes with directly bought licences. Yes, a lic...

Re: Running a script from the GraphicConverter script menu

<r>So what do you think Thorsten has to do about it? Create a hack for Mavericks so you get a convenient way to run your scripts (which is simply dragging a palette around on your screen as I understand it)? Thorsten is not responsible for AppleScript "limitations". Or security improvements introduc...
