In a CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) conversion, Paint Shop Pro replaces the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) colors you see on the monitor with the CMYK colors used in printing. You can then print a separate page for each CMYK color by selecting the CMYK Separations option in the Page Setup dialog box. This is useful if you are using a pre press shop and doing high-end printing.
Before printing the separations, configure the CMYK preferences to determine how Paint Shop Pro handles the conversion from RGB to CMYK. Save these preferences in a file called a profile.
To set the current profile:
Choose File > Preferences CMYK Conversion Preferences to open the CMYK Conversion Preferences dialog.
Choose the name of the profile from the Current Profile drop down list.
Click OK.
To create a new profile:
Paint Shop Pro uses the program’s default settings until you create a profile.
Choose File > Preferences > CMYK Conversion Preferences to open the CMYK Conversion Preferences dialog.
Do one of the following:
Choose the name of a profile from the Current Profile drop down list and click New. This will base the new profile on the settings of the selected profile.
Click New. This will base the new profile on the program’s defaults.
The New CMYK Profile dialog will open.
Type a name for the new profile in the Enter profile name field.
Choose the initial setting:
Reset to defaults Base the new profile on the program’s defaults.
Use current settings Base the new profile on the settings in the current profile.
Click OK.
To remove a profile:
Choose File > Preferences > CMYK Conversion Preferences to open the CMYK Conversion Preferences dialog.
Choose the name of the profile from the Current Profile drop down list.
Click OK.
