77-82 Managing Color in Illustration ApplicationsES3640e MFP Color Reference Guide - 82Importing imagesA number of file types can be imported into FreeHand, but onceimported, all are treated as EPS images, TIFF images, or editablepaths. For details, see your FreeHand documentation.When you import an EPS image into a document, FreeHandinserts 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, thecolors print just as they would from the originating application.Note: Before placing a CMYK EPS file, be sure the file was savedwith Desktop Color Separation (DCS) set to Off. If the file wassaved with DCS activated, FreeHand prints composites of theimage at the low resolution used for screen viewing.All RGB images placed in a document are affected by your RGBSource and Rendering Style settings in the PPD. For best resultswith placed images, follow the instructions in ìWorking withimported imagesî on page 4-39.Saving files for importing into other documentsWhen saving files in FreeHand for importing into other types ofdocuments, use the EPS file format. FreeHand saves all colorinformation in CMYK. The RGB Source and Rendering Style printoptions have no effect on the color output of RGB artwork saved inFreeHand and imported into other types of documents. In thecase of FreeHand files imported into Photoshop, however, vectordata from the FreeHand file is rasterized into bitmaps inPhotoshop, and the final color space of the bitmap data isdetermined by the color mode you set in Photoshop.
