The diagram below indicates the steps for this particular workflow in black.
Photoshop RGB with Illustrator and QuarkXPress CMYK and PANTONE
colors
This workflow involves short-run printing of a complex page layout with
images saved in Photoshop, illustrations created in Illustrator, and
PANTONE spot colors. A Photoshop image is saved in an RGB color space
using the EPS file format. Illustrator artwork contains objects defined as
CMYK and as PANTONE spot colors selected from printed output, and
they are saved using the Illustrator EPS file format. After all of these
individual objects are imported into QuarkXPress, additional design elements
in QuarkXPress are colored using CMYK process colors or PANTONE spot
colors. Use the settings illustrated in this workflow for printing brochures,
newsletters, and other layouts.
NOTE: Anytime CMYK colors are placed in a document, they should be
selected from printed output (see page 2-4).
This document could be created as follows:
• Create an RGB image in Photoshop and save it as an EPS.
• Create a graphic in Illustrator using CMYK and PANTONE colors and
save as Illustrator EPS.
• Use CMYK colors and a PANTONE color in a QuarkXPress document.
• Import the Illustrator EPS into QuarkXPress and place the Photoshop EPS
image.
