Setting up a separation folder and template (Macintosh)
In the following procedure, you will use a dummy job to set up a separation folder and template.
You may wish to put all your separation folders into one higher-level folder or directory to make
it easier to keep track of them, but this is not required.
1 • Make sure you are connected to CQtiff and that the CMYK pr
ofile you intend to use is
present in your system.
2 • Create a folder with an appropriate name.
3 • Choose Separate File... from the Scan menu.
4 • In the standard Open... dialogue that appears, double-click on the name of any TIFF Lab or
TIFF RGB file.
5 • Choose the desired separation parameters.
6 • Choose Save As... from the File menu.
7 • Give the template a name, choose the folder you created in step 2 and click on Save
>>> Next step:

ctivating & using separation folders
If in doubt, check the CMYK Profile menu in the Scan Setup window.
The folder can be located anywhere in your system, but must be visible
to everyone who is going to use it.
The Separate File window will appear.
These parameters will become the separation template for the folder
you are setting up.
• NOTE: Unsharp Masking (USM) can be applied both during scanning
and during separation. Be sure to set up your scanning and separa-
tion procedures so that it is applied only once.
• In the Separate File window, you can specify where you want to store
the finished, separated files. Default is the ColorQuartet X.X folder.
A standard Save... dialogue will appear.
