Dear all,
Despite an extended search through the internet, I couldn't get the settings
right so far:
My digital camera produces images in sRGB. I created a photobook which I want
to order as a PDF (it will get exposed on real photo paper). The printing
company (saal-digital.de) needs the file as a sRGB.
Now my questions:
What settings should I use? So far I tried
Preferences - Color Management:
Enabled;
RGB Images / RGB Solid Colors: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK Images / Solid Colors: Euroscale Uncoated v2
Monitor: sRGB
Printer: Euroscale Uncoated v2
Rendering Intents:
Images: Perceptual
Solid Colors: Relative Colorimetric
Use Blackpoint Compensation: on
PDF Export:
General:
File Options: PDF 1.3 or 1.4
Compression Method: Automatic
Compression Quality: Maximum
Max Image Resolution: 300 dpi
Color:
Output intended for: Printer
Solid Colors - Use Color Profile:
on; selected: sRGB
Images - Use Color Profile:
on
Do not use embedded color profiles: on; selected: sRGB
Are these settings correct?
With previous settings I tried, the problem seemed to be that the file/images
was not converted into the correct color space but only "assigned" to it.
Generally:
Is color management really necessary, since both input images and printing
format are in sRGB? Can I just disable Color Management and select "Output
intended for Screen/Web" since this should produce a sRGB PDF?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Bernd
PS: sRGB used above for brevity instead of sRGB IEC61966-2.1
