This guide is a complement to the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 Guidebook, which is included in the suite as an Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) document. The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 Guidebook provides an overview of general color management concepts and a brief description of the color management workflow in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5. This guide is both technical and practical — focusing not only on how color management works, but also why things work the way they do. The guide covers various workflows that are commonly used with CorelDRAW® and Corel® PHOTO-PAINT™. Each chapter of the guide finishes with an F.A.Q. section that answers questions frequently asked by our users. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 has introduced many changes to color management in comparison to previous versions of the suite. Making sense of all these changes can be a daunting task so this guide is here to help you. You can skip Chapter 1 if you do not need a general introduction to color management and continue directly with Chapter 2, which describes various color management workflows. About the author Gennady Petrov is a senior software developer at Corel Corporation. He led the overhaul of the color management architecture in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5. Welcome 1 Chapter 1: Introduction to color management Color management: the problem and the solution Sooner or later, every designer has difficulty reproducing colors reliably on different computer systems and using different media. The colors that a monitor displays can look very different on another monitor or when printed. The fundamental problem is that computer systems encode colors through methods that are hardware-oriented, which can be very much different from the way the human eye sees color. Computer software and hardware use RGB and CMYK color models to communicate to the monitor or printer how to reproduce a color. For example, when the RGB red (255-0-0) is sent to an LCD monitor, it’s converted to electric signals that are sent to the liquid crystal cells that control red, green, and blue pixels, resulting in backlight passing only through the red filter. The onscreen color that you see is red, but the exact hue of red depends on several factors: the LCD technology used, the spectrum of backlight, how color values are converted to the electric signal by the firmware, and more. As drastic as the difference in color representation can be between different monitors, it can be even more pronounced when a document is printed. The appearance of a color with the same color values can vary greatly on different monitors and when printed. Similarly to what the metric system has done for standardizing the units of measurement, color management standards have been established to ensure consistency in color representation. As soon as the length of a metre, the mass of a kilogram, or the volume of a litre was determined and accepted, any ambiguity surrounding these measurements was eliminated. The LAB and XYZ color spaces do the same thing for color representation. Designed to encompass all colors that the human eye can see, these color spaces define colors based on how they're perceived by the human eye. The LAB and XYZ color spaces, unlike the RGB and CMYK color models, are device independent. To define and measure color in LAB coordinates, you need very specialized hardware to measure the spectral characteristics of Chapter 1: Introduction to color management 3 the light that carries the color, such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers. Most devices, however, can reproduce colors reliably by measuring the spectral characteristics of several color samples and mapping between device-dependent colors defined in RGB or CMYK color model and their device- independent LAB coordinates. Color management is based upon a simple principle. Device-dependent color values are translated to a reference device-independent color space first. When the “true” device- independent color has been determined, it can be converted to the device-dependent color of your target device. For example, the process of converting RGB 255 0 0 (Red) color coordinates from the sRGB color space to Adobe® RGB (1998) color space works in the following way: 1 The sRGB color space maps the RGB color values (coordinates) to LAB coordinates. In this example, RGB 255 0 0 color coordinates are mapped to the absolute LAB 54 80 69 color coordinates. 2 The absolute LAB 54 80 69 color coordinates are then reverse-mapped to the RGB 219 0 0 color coordinates in the Adobe RGB (1998) color space. Although the RGB color values are different in each color space, they correspond to the same absolute LAB color coordinates, representing exactly the same color visually and solving the color management problem. The relationship between device color space coordinates and absolute LAB/XYZ coordinates is defined by International Color Consortium® (ICC) color profiles. An ICC color profile contains information that lets you map color values (coordinates) from a device-dependent color space to color coordinates in the device-independent LAB/XYZ color space and vice versa. The LAB and XYZ color spaces are often referred to as Profile Connection Spaces (PCS). A matrix within the ICC color profile converts input RGB coordinates to XYZ color space coordinates. Alternatively, there's a lookup table (LUT) that matches an input color value to its corresponding LAB color value. When the output color value has no exact match in the LUT, the LAB color values are interpolated from existing LUT entries. Problems with the solution So color management seems simple enough — establish absolute color references that allow you to translate and preserve color appearance regardless of the color space. Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple. The mind-boggling number of color-matching scenarios across different devices can make color management a rather complex task. Sometimes there are hardware imperfections and differences between devices that are beyond what color management can correct, making accurate color- matching impossible. By no means does this make color management redundant. Even when you can't match colors exactly, you can predict how they will look. Given the myriad of variables involved in precise color reproduction, the surprising part isn't the limitations of color management, but how accurate a color match a knowledgeable designer can achieve. Understanding color management can overcome any color-matching problem. Every color space has a range of colors it can accurately represent. For example, a printer's color space only defines colors that the printer can reproduce. The range of colors that a device can reproduce is called its gamut. Only the LAB and XYZ color spaces, based on the spectrum of color visible to the human eye, contain all the colors that people can see. 4 The Designer’s Guide to Color Management in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 If a particular color is represented in both color spaces involved in a color conversion, the color matching is exact; if the color being converted is only found in the input color space, it's considered out-of-gamut, and the closest possible match in the destination color space is used.

  • CDOT Shaded Color and Grayscale Printing Reference File Management
    CDOT Shaded Color and Grayscale Printing This document guides you through the set-up and printing process for shaded color and grayscale Sheet Files. This workflow may be used any time the user wants to highlight specific areas for things such as phasing plans, public meetings, ROW exhibits, etc. Please note that the use of raster images (jpg, bmp, tif, ets.) will dramatically increase the processing time during printing. Reference File Management Adjustments must be made to some of the reference file settings in order to achieve the desired print quality. The settings that need to be changed are the Slot Numbers and the Update Sequence. Slot Numbers are unique identifiers assigned to reference files and can be called out individually or in groups within a pen table for special processing during printing. The Update Sequence determines the order in which files are refreshed on the screen and printed on paper. Reference file Slot Number Categories: 0 = Sheet File (black)(this is the active dgn file.) 1-99 = Proposed Primary Discipline (Black) 100-199 = Existing Topo (light gray) 200-299 = Proposed Other Discipline (dark gray) 300-399 = Color Shaded Areas Note: All data placed in the Sheet File will be printed black. Items to be printed in color should be in their own file. Create a new file using the standard CDOT seed files and reference design elements to create color areas. If printing to a black and white printer all colors will be printed grayscale. Files can still be printed using the default printer drivers and pen tables, however shaded areas will lose their transparency and may print black depending on their level.

  • 14. Using Your Own Images
    Cricut Design Space User Manual 14. Using your own images D. Preparing artwork from CorelDRAW Cricut Design Space™ lets you upload most .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .svg, and .dxf images and convert them into cuttable shapes. The tool doesn’t allow you to make modifications to the design itself, which is why working with CorelDRAW to prepare your files is effective. With CorelDRAW, you can use the full range of tools to create and modify your designs, and then upload them to Cricut Design Space. The two different types of images are Basic and Vector. CorelDRAW is primarily a vector program, which means it saves vector files like .svg and .dxf, but it can also save .jpg, .png, and .bmp files. Artwork created in CorelDRAW can be used to: (1) Print the image on your home printer and cut it out using your Cricut® machine with the Print then Cut feature. (2) Cut or draw the outline of the image. Page | 1 Cricut Design Space User Manual (3) Create cuttable shapes and images. Multilayer images will be separated into layers on the Canvas. Tip: Multilayer images can be flattened into a single layer in Cricut Design Space. Use the Flatten tool to turn any multilayer image into a single layer that can be used with Print then Cut.
