hello! i have an object filled with an rgb color, i create a new color style from it (new color style from selected) and choose convert color styles to cmyk. the new fill after this conversion is very much different from the original one. as far as i know, conversion should preserve color appearance, so why is this?
CorelDraw with color proofing turned off will display colors in the CMYK, RGB and grayscale profile of the document, if you started with an RGB color and created a CMYK color style and therefore converted it CMYK it will display as the CMYK profile of the document. IF the original RGB color is out of GAMUT for CMYK then a color shift will occur, this is proper.
What makes you think the RGB color is not out of gamut for the document CMYK profile?
Tell me what RGB color space and the RGB numbers and I'll test it on my end. I've been doing this a long time with 4 color management books under my belt so I believe we can get to the bottom of this.
BTW the design of color management your settings and the shift are the clues that the color is out of gamut, either way I'll drop the build into a profile analyzer and test it.
Unfortunately if you are using US webcoated swop V2 CMYK for you CMYK profile you're RGB color is out of GAMUT for the destination CMYK color . If you do not see this in your display using perceptual rendering then you display is not properly calibrated.
