What is best way to get FH cmyk file...

Hi,

What is the best way of converting the colours in a complex freehand file with approx 40 colours over to rgb when they are cmyk ? I have found that as cmyk, they are displaying wrong in Flash8 when imported to Library, e.g. 100 0 0 0 is nothing like pure cyan when in Flash, but convert it to rgb and its a lot better.

I have a map of many routes featuring all these colours to import into Flash8 library, then these individual routes each to take into Flash8 library separately.

Freehand has an export to Flash but with no rgb option.

Freehand 9 does not have a save as rgb command.

I am with 9 but if only MX can assist here then I could open into MX then do it from there.

Have you tried this method?

1. Save as new file.

2. With your usual color management preferences selected, run Xtras%26gt;Color%26gt;'Name all colors'.

3. In color swatches list, select all colors. From swatches pop-up menu 'Make RGB'.

4. In Preferences%26gt;Color, set color management settings to 'None'. The RGB colors should look about the same as they did with color management on.

Now you should be able to export to Flash with RGB colors that look quite close to your CMYK version of the file.

This should work the same in FH9 or FHMX. I hope it does the trick for you.
