Scanning an image and separating it later
With ColorQuartet, you can scan an image as a TIFF Lab or TIFF RGB file and later separate it into
RGB or CMYK without viewing the file on screen.
When you use this method, the scr
een ruling and any color modifications must be done at the
time of scanning, but the RGB Pr
ofile or CMYK Profile is applied when you separate the file.
1 • Start up CQtiff, which is a separate program module like CQscan.
2 • In ColorQuartet, open the Connections window, click on one of the four large buttons at the
left and click on Connect.
3 • In the window that appears, click on the relevant entries to connect to CQtiff.
4 • In the Connections window, click on Separate File.
5 • From the standard Open... dialogue that appears, choose the TIFF Lab or TIFF RGB file you
want to separate.
6 • Click on Save Separation As... and assign a name and location to the file.
7 • Choose the desired File F
ormat, USM Profile (if USM was not used during scanning) and
RGB or CMYK Profile.
8 • Click on Ready to Separate.
9 • Choose Do Jobs from the Scan menu.
