What it does

Allows you to convert the color of the selected objects to Gray, CMYK or RGB using a device link profile (instead of an ICC profile).

DeviceLink profiles are device specific profiles, converting colors from one color space to another, without converting to LAB or any other device independent color space in between.

You can browse for a local DeviceLink profile or you can select one from the list; PitStop includes 40 DeviceLink profiles for CMYK-CMYK conversions and ink coverage reduction.

Note that you can convert only the stroke or fill of the objects, or both.

Note: If the objects concerned are tagged with an ICC profile, it must be removed first, before you can apply a DeviceLink profile. To do so, you can use Tag object with an ICC profile, with the ICC profile set to None. Alternatively, you can use the PitStop Inspector (Fill and Stroke tab, ICC profile (at the bottom of the tab) set to None).
