Dear all,
when working on a catalogue, for example, with many individual photos, how do you import them so that I don't end up with files 500Mb-1Gb large?
Thanks!
Yes, cmyk files are usually larger than rgb, as well as, transparent background. Also ensure if any cropping is done that the crop setting is grayed out indicating it is "fully cropped" I sometimes use the node tool to move the nodes and forget to check this.
safia said:Ariel when I EXPORT FROM Coreldraw to jpeg, I usually prefer RGB in order to get smaller file sizes. I could do some tests but... I'd rather ask you: would a bitmap cmyk be smaller than jpeg rgb? My CMYK files are big.
This is a different issue (the original post is about import, not export).
A CMYK image should be bigger than RGB (4 channels instead 3) btw the file size is also relative to the compress ratio. JPG could be fine for send to plotter but not as a high quality printing output (offset printing) such as brochures, catalogues, magazines, etc.
