How it Works
In this illustration we are using the Viewer tool with a job to set the workflow to trap and output to the Rip and
to create a soft proof file at the same time.
We can also configure this same workflow as an fully automatic - In-Rip process!
The effectively makes i-jpeg - a pdf to jpeg converter or a PS to jpeg converter.
|
|
This first workflow is the normal I-TRAP plugin
that sends the trapped job back to the regular
Rip output device
Either by pressing the [Append Workflow]
button or in the original queue setup, additional
output workflows can be setup
In this case the I-JPEG plugin is enabled
and an output folder is selected to place the
trapped jpeg files
|
| I-JPEG plugin - convert
PS to JPEG - convert EPS to JPEG - convert PDF to
JPEG for a variety of uses. |
Once soft proof files have been produced by I-JPEG then you have a variety of options. In the simplest case you can attach a RGB JPEG
of your job to an email message and send it to your clients for their fast review.
For more professional and higher volume automation
you can use OnTimeProof
as an automated online soft proofing system. It will
pickup your soft proof files and post them automatically
to your client jobs based on job numbers in the Job
Name.
Other optins include using these files for hard copy or color calibrated soft proofing. For information on how to use CMYK files with
Photoshop to do calibrated soft proofing please vist online tutorials such as:

Jobs can be output as either RGB or CMYK color space.
RGB files can be opened quickly in a users browser or email for the smallest size and easiest viewing.
CMYK files maintain color fidelity and can be used with Photoshop ICC profiles for calibrated soft proofing.
|
|
|
| Resolution can be set to any value up to the full resolution of the job.
Lower res for web proofs and higher res for local or hard copy proofing. Likewise the Quality setting helps with file size.
|
|
|
|
In addition to creating simple composite color proof files, you also have the option to output individual proof
files for each separation - in the color of the ink or as grayscale.
|
|
|
| Naming and
saving options provide the final touches to
make sure the files will integrate well with
any existing proofing or online soft proofing
systems - such as Lucid’s own OnTimeProof.
