Spot colors

Post by martinho »

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a high-res tif file to a low-res (100 dpi) tif file, using the following code:

Code: Select all

convert.exe "input.tif" -compress Zip -quality 40 -resample 100 "output.tif"
The original high-res file contains spot colors (PAN Orange 021 to be more precise), which is not preserved in the output file. Is there a way of preserving pantone spot colors when doing the above conversion? Thanks!

Best regards,
Maarten

As far as I know, IM does not know how to deal with spot colors. If someone else knows how to do that, I stand corrected and would like to know.
