Defining colors
Any colors defined in FreeHand are sent to the printer in CMYK—even those defined
using other color models. For best results, use the color definition methods described
on page 5-5.
You can control the conversion of RGB colors defined in FreeHand by specifying
settings in the Preferences dialog box under the Colors category, or choosing Color
Management from the FreeHand menu on the Print dialog box.
Importing images
A number of file types can be imported into FreeHand, but once imported, all are
treated as EPS images, TIFF images, or editable paths. For details, see your FreeHand
documentation.
When you import an EPS image into a document, FreeHand inserts a link to the
image rather than embedding the original file, resulting in a smaller file size. If the
image is a CMYK EPS file, the colors print just as they would from the originating
application.

:
Before placing a CMYK EPS file, be sure the file was saved with Desktop Color
Separation (DCS) set to Off. If the file was saved with DCS activated, FreeHand prints
composites of the image at the low resolution used for screen viewing.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by your RGB Source and Rendering
Style settings in the PPD. For best results with placed images, follow the instructions
in “Importing images” on page 9-2 and “CMYK simulation” on page 9-2.
