I’m creating a photo intensive catalog in PageMaker7, proofing the pages on a color laser printer and plan to send the finished document to a commercial printer.
Initially I had put in some RGB images and the pages looked fine – both on the monitor as well as on my color laser output. However, since the images presumably needed to be in CMYK for the commercial printer, I converted the same images to CMYK mode (using PhotoShop7). However, now the color laser output shows much darker images with virtually black midtones.
Will this get corrected automatically when the commercial printer runs it or do I need to correct the images in PhotoShop? The problem is that the images look fine on the monitor, so I would not know how to ‘correct’ them!
Also, can someone please advise whether it is OK to insert Photoshop files (.PSD) in a PM7 document which will be sent to a commercial printer, or should I insert only TIFF files?
Thanks for your comments.
