5-2 Page Layout Applications
Importing images
EPS (or EPSF) and TIFF are the recommended formats for images imported into
page layout documents. Support for importing other file formats may be provided by
individual applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and
Rendering Style settings. The ColorWise color management system applies the
specified RGB Source setting to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering
Style (CRD) to perform a color conversion. An exception to this occurs if you assign
ICC profiles to RGB images using the application’s color management tools. (See
“Tips for advanced users” in the following section). In this case, the application
performs the color conversion of the image and sends CMYK data to the Color Server.

To take advantage of RGB Source and Rendering Style settings for images
imported into QuarkXPress 4.02, save images in the EPS format or use the Quark
PrintRGB XTension, which outputs RGB TIFF image files without converting them
to CMYK.
Tips for advanced users
If you place multiple RGB images, some non-photographic and some photographic,
a single CRD may not be suitable for all the images. In this case, you may want the
photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, separate the
image to CMYK data with a pixel-editing application, such as Photoshop, and perform
color correction. Save the file as EPS or TIFF and import it into the document.
If your application supports this feature, you can save the RGB image in TIFF format
and assign it an ICC profile and rendering intent when you import it into the
document.
