Hi
Does anyone know how a drawing in CMYK can be converted to RGB ? At present i am selecting each element of the drawing and manually converting it.Tried the Visual Basic 'File Converter' option, but it doesn't work.
I hope there is a better way as i have many images to convert. A solution to this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jaya
Hi, I saw how similar this thread is to my problem and I thought I would post to the end of it.
I am submitting a manuscript to a scientific journal and I made all of the figures (as always) in CorelDraw. Each figure is either vector or vector+bitmap and I made them all with CMYK. The journal only accepts RGB, so I used the 'find and replace' to replace all CMYK with RGB for both fills and outlines. However, when I export this to eps, the journal's software still reports that I have CMYK in the eps. How could that be? The 'find and replace' reports that it cannot find any CMYK objects and the eps is set to send bitmaps as RGB.
I would like to use eps rather than tif for the journal (those are my choices) because these tif files are enormous (200-300 megabytes) and I have to upload them to the journal through the journal's website. I am using CorelDraw X4 on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Eric
What did you do with the EPS export dialogue regarding bitmaps? The default is to export all bitmaps as CMYK. EricB wrote:

EDIT -- OOPS sorry -- I missed the last four words of your post where you said you set RGB for the bit maps in the EPS dialogue. This whole CMYK/RGB buisness has turned upside down in the last couple of years. Remember the good old days when it was unconditional that one had to send CMYK; now there are many instances like you encountered of unconditional requirement for RGB. IIt would be so nice if the w)orld would come together again on this--or at least inform the person which is required BEFORE doing the job!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply- I have EPS export dialogue set to export as RGB. I should also note that there are four figures, two of which have no bitmaps, yet they still fail.

CorelDRAW X4 Sp1 or lower forces RGB vector shapes to CMYK when creating EPS files. Don't shoot me! I am only the messenger...
Don't believe? Open attached. See RGB colored shapes. Export to EPS. Then open eps back into in Draw. It is EZ test....
try publishing file as PDF using RGB archive preset. Then open in draw, RGB values preserved that way.

Thanks for the answer- ugh what a long time I spent uploading tifs!
