Color Space Transformation
It often happens that advertisements appear in magazines which are produced using different printing processes. In order to achieve uniform color representation throughout, a color space transformation must be performed for each printing process.
By means of ICC profile technology, ORIS Color Tuner allows the color transformation of images and pages (TIFF) for their adjustment to different printing processes. The basic adjustment is made through ICC profiles. ORIS Color Tuner has sophisticated fine tuning tools which allow the subsequent fine adjustment for perfecting the transformation.
Format Conversion
ORIS is capable of converting a wide range of data formats during input and output. Data conversions can be influenced by additional parameters such as, e.g.
- Resolution
- Color space transformation
- Soft edging of objects
- Text frames dependent on background
- Trapping
Input Formats PostScript, PDF, CopyDot (DCS), TIFF/IT-P1, TIFF, Scitex HandShake CT/LW
Output Format PostScript, Flat PostScript (CT/LW), TIFF/IT-P1, TIFF/All in CT, Scitex HandShake CT/LW, DCS 1, DCS 2
Data conversion is performed completely automatically with ORIS Works. Shira file conversion tools, e.g., can also be included in the workflow thus allowing practically all of the high-end CEP system formats to be included in the conversion process.
CopyDot Linework Files Control
ORIS PDF Tuner is one of the few programs in the area of DTP that allows the reading and manipulation of linework files.
- Recoloring -- globally or in masked areas only, e.g. for the coloring of scanned black-and-white text
- Retouching of pixels in airbrush or copy brush mode
- Filling linework areas, e.g. coloration of comics and maps
- Transparency for any linework color and for single color separations
- Scaling, rotation and positioning
Modification of CopyDot Data
ORIS PDF Tuner imports CopyDot data (CMYK) in the DCS format, produced e.g. by ESKOFOT scanners. Internally, CopyDot data are treated like linework data, i.e., they can be modified using the linework editor. Of course, correcting individual dots would involve too much work, but it is possible to e.g. erase or recolor specific areas and to insert new prices, logos and other linework elements.
