Print Palette Button – Prints the ColorSure palette for the selected substrate.
ColorSure is a method for reproducing exact spot colors. The two main
components are; 1) the transferred palette and 2) the CorelDraw, Corel
PhotoPaint, and Adobe swatches. For a complete description on how to
use ColorSure to get perfect spot colors, see appendix C.
Group 2 - Color Settings (Advanced Mode)
Overview
This tab gives you access to all of the color management controls
available in PowerDriver IQ™. Color correction allows you to create
transfers from all kinds of images, from photorealistic images to spot
color logos. For maximum flexibility, PowerDriver IQ™ lets you color
correct bitmap and vector elements differently, even if they are in the
same graphics file. For example, if you scan a photograph and import it
into CorelDraw, PowerDriver IQ™ will use the color management
settings that have been selected for Bitmap. If you then add text on top
of the bitmap image, PowerDriver IQ™ will use the color management
settings that have been selected for Vector. The photograph and the text
will be color corrected differently! Why? You can now sublimate images
with realistic photographic backgrounds that have vivid spot color text.
Vector and Bitmap Explanation
Bitmaps are a grid of pixels. Bitmaps come from digital cameras,
scanners, and photo cds. Bitmaps can also be created in applications
like Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop. Bitmaps have file
extensions like GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIF. Vector components consist of
shapes, curves, lines, and text. They are created in programs such as
CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. Higher end programs like CorelDraw
can combine Vector and Bitmaps into a single image. As a rule of
thumb, if the object in your image is made of curves, text, shapes, or fills,
it will be color corrected using the PowerDriver IQ™ Vector settings. All
other image types will be color corrected based on the PowerDriver IQ™
Bitmap setting.
