Converting a color using the Enfocus Convert Color Panel

Converting and changing a color can be done in the Enfocus Inspector, using the color profiles defined in the Preferences. However, for a correct color conversion based on specific color profiles, the Enfocus Convert Color panel can be used.

To convert a color using the Enfocus Convert Color Panel

  1. Select the text or line-art objects of which you want to change the color (using ).
    Tip: If you want to select text or objects with the same color, you may better use the Select Similar Objects tool .
  2. In the PitStop Color panel, click Convert Color.
  3. Define if you want to convert the Fill, the Stroke or Both.
    If the fill and stroke use different color spaces, you cannot select the option Both.
  4. Select the target color space.
  5. If necessary, change the Source ICC Profile. Only the profiles for the Source color space will be available.
    Note:
    • For gray objects, you can also select CMYK profiles, in order to treat gray as CMYK black.

    • The Source ICC Profile list contains some DeviceLink Profiles as well. 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. An example is the Total Ink Preview Profile. Since DeviceLink Profiles have a Source and Destination color space defined, you can only select DeviceLink Profiles matching the source and destination color space in the “Source” field. The Target profile field will be disabled if a DeviceLink profile is selected.

  6. Set the Target ICC Profile. Only the profiles for the Target color space will be available.
  7. Define the Rendering Intent to be used. For more information about the different remapping methods, refer to the chapter on Rendering intents.
  8. If you select Force gray to keep same intensity, PitStop Pro will try to remap impure gray and black to black BEFORE converting to CMYK. This will result e.g. for RGB black text to convert to pure 100% K instead of a mix of all process colors.
  9. Enable the option Tag converted objects with target ICC profile as required.
  10. Click Convert.
