I create and correct a CMYK tif in Photoshop. When placed in pagemaker it is lighter than the image displayed by Photoshop. How can I get PageMaker 6.5 on the Mac OS 8.1 to display the image exactly as Photoshop does?

Hi
the problem you ave has nothing to do with pagemaker, photoshop of your image. It has everything to do with your monitor and the diferences in displaying colors in photoshop and pagemaker.
Photoshop being a programm that needs an accurate color management has a better way of displaying colors on your monitor. Pagemaker being a layout programm has not asmuch possibilities and doesn't need them because your image has all the qualities you gave it in photoshop and they are still in the image. So viewing the file in its optimum view is not always necessary.
But you can arrange the quality of your view in the preferences. Set the quality of placed images to hig and you will get a better view, but this also slows down the rebuilding of your screen and is only used when everything is put in place and you wan't to view the file in it's optimum quality, then quickly turn itback to normalin your preferences

Interpreter: PM shows CMYK files correct ONLY, if Kodak
Color Management is enabled. A printer profile similar to the one
which has been used in PhS for the conversion from RGB to CMYK
has to be selected as "CMYK source profile".
E.g. Euro300Uncoated or something like that.
The whole process is rather complex. A simpler method is to link
RGB images. For any desktop printer this is correct. For offset
printing the RGB to CMYK conversion can be done by the service provider,
because he knows his printing hardware and the paper better.

Interpreter: some additional informations:
If the CMYK is created by PhotoShop, then the
Color Management System in PM uses the
embedded Printer Profile.
(check by clicking the image / "Modifications" or so).
Nevertheless it´s necessary to start as mentioned in my
previous letter.
Don´t forget: Enable CMS in the preferences for the
whole document. Check, whether CMS is enabled for
the single image. It can be necessary to set in the CMS
control box "Apply CMS for new elements" as long as images
are placed (and switched off for vector graphics). ---Gernot
