Creating Separation Profiles

Requires an extra license.

Project settings for separation.

Select a target color space by clicking on one of the listed proof profiles of your current project (1).

Before defining the input color space, please check and complete the Ink Settings (2), please see Ink Settings). Unless the Ink Settings are complete, you will not be able to access the settings for the input color space.

Separation Rules (3) allow you to define how input colors defined in your GMG OpenColor project will be separated to your target color space (please see Creating Color Definitions required for using Separation in PACKZ).

  1. Click the corresponding button on the Tools & Actions panel.
  2. Select an input color space matching the the color space of the document you want to edit or convert.
  3. In case you defined a ChannelChanger profile, select a maximum of four output inks.
  4. To start the profile calculation, click the Calculate button.
  5. Click the Publish button to make all profiles available in the connected application such as GMG ColorPlugin.
  6. To export finished profiles, click the Export button at the bottom of the separation settings. If you have established a connection between GMG OpenColor and the application in which you want to use the profile, you will not need to export the profile.

You can also create GMG OpenColor Separation profiles based on a GMG OpenColor Separation Rule in PACKZ (please see Separation in PACKZ).
