Preview and Finder aren't built around viewing CMYK process print files. Is there a reason you aren't looking at them in Acrobat? Do they still look washed out in Acrobat?
- Much better in Acrobat thanks.
Find it bizarre that a Mac app called Preview does not preview CMYK colours correctly... grrrrr.fadein11 - Our account people have the same problem, always using preview.
always open in native programfuturefood - thanks - good to know. Just presumed Preview would render well as Macs are used by design pros. And there is no Adobe Reader on Mac.fadein11
- There certainly is Adobe Reader on Mac :)monospaced
- Really??? This is news to me. I will find. I just presumed they replaced it with Preview like Apple likes to do. Not on my machine.fadein11
- Adobe makes Acrobat. Preview is Apple, so it's not a replacement :)
https://get.adobe.co…monospaced - Acrobat Pro is a CC application, so that's why you have it installed. Reader doesn't get installed automatically.monospaced
- oh god mono - I know that. I know the difference between Acrobat Pro and Reader. Opening with Pro was v.slow compared to preview. As discussed Ifadein11
- just presumed Adobe discontinued Reader on mac because Preview did it's job and came with the system. Lol.fadein11
- But thanks for all your help. Genuinely.fadein11
- lol, I guess I took the "Really???" too seriously ... you're welcomemonospaced
- no it was serious for a while. but basically it all came down to me relying on Preview and not doing CMYK artwork often. Many thanks.fadein11
- Much better in Acrobat thanks.
