1-8 Simple and Advanced Workflows
Advanced workflows
The following sections present advanced color management workflow examples for
three short-run printing and three color proofing situations. Each workflow example
consists of a brief description, steps for creating and manipulating the files, a list of the
ColorWise settings used in the example, and a table that summarizes the workflow.

These examples reference specific software applications that illustrate image
editing, illustration, page layout, and business/office applications—Adobe Photoshop,
Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and Microsoft PowerPoint, respectively.
Short-run printing examples
The following examples illustrate short-run printing on the Color Server.
Photoshop RGB workflow
This short-run workflow of printing an RGB image from Photoshop is one of the
simplest color workflows. In it, RGB data is sent from the application, through the
printer driver, to the Color Server. The RGB-to-CMYK conversion takes place on the
Color Server using a CRD rather than the application. Use the settings illustrated in
this workflow for printing photographs and artwork.
This document could be created as follows:
• Create an RGB image in Photoshop.
• Print the file directly to the Color Server.
For recommended print settings from Photoshop, see Chapter 4 .
• Use ColorWise to convert the RGB image to device CMYK (the full gamut of
the printer).
