Dear Forum Members,
I have EPS art that displays with vibrant colors when I view the art in either IrfranView or Adobe Illustrator. However, when I import the same art into CorelDraw X6 all the colors display as dull and not at all vibrant like the other two apps.
Obviously, it's a color management issue. I have spent 1 hour tweaking Corel Draw Color Management setting with no success. I thought changing all "Import and Paste Settings" to "Use Embedded Color Profile" would do the trick however dull colors still persist.
In short, I would really welcome anyone out there who knows how to correctly adjust Corel Draw X6 colors to post in this thread. My goal is to get Corel Draw X6 colors to match what I see in IrfranView and Adobe Illustrator.
Thank you in advance for any help.
This is the same art as low res png I opened the original file in illustrator cs6 saved it as an illustrator eps The dialogue box in illustrator says converted when saved.
I then imported it into CorelDraw x6 the original eps I suspect this was originally saved as illustrator macintosh a long time ago
There is no transparency in the file. Not that I clicked on all 7 billion objects. It is just that CD cannot cope with something as simple as (mainly) the radial gradients in this half-ancient EPS file.
Which is why resaving as a PDF or as an AI file works.
MikeWe said: with something as simple as (mainly) the radial gradients in this half-ancient EPS file.
Clearly you do not understand the difference between a true EPS file and Illustrator EPS file. Adobe cheats with all AI versions of EPS and PDF, so if these types of files are saved as Adobe Illustrator versions of these file formats only AI will open them properly.
Further to how CD is mucking up the gradients in this EPS file, here's some screen shots.
In AI, the gradient has 4 stops. I should have also selected the gradient tool so you could see on the object that the radial gradient starts in the dark circle and extends out past the object's bounds. But you can see that in the XDP screen shot as they are identical anyway...
In XDP, there are 4 stops...
And now here is how CD interprets the radial gradient. 2 stops, and a bit "compressed" as to its diameter.
And BTW, none of the color at the stops for CD's radial gradient are remotely correct by way of comparing both AI and XDP.
