Corel Draw Export

[captainron19]

Made a graphic in Corel Draw and I have to export to a jpg but the color blue (which I have set in the cdr file as a dark navy blue) is coming up a very bright blue during the export.

I am exporting as a jpg and for the color mode in the setup before export I have set up for the highest (32 bit)

Any idea on how I can get the true blue colors in the export?

RGB or CMYK?

Exporting with color profile turned on or off?

What are the color values to the dark blue you're talking about?

I should of also stated what version I am using:

Using Corel Draw X3
IN Export I set Color Mode to CMYK 32 Bit
Did not see any option to turn color profile on or off
Using the default CMYK Color Pallette with blue

Below is 2 graphics - 1 is a screen shot of what the actual graphic looks like in corel draw, the other is the export so you can see how the blue gets lighter. This is a patch I am designing for the fire academy where I teach and they wanted to see a proof before sending to the patch designer.

What are your settings under Tools, Color Management and then under the Import/Export settings?

export your design as a 24 bit rgb jpeg. I have found colors are always off when I export to 32 bit cmyk but are just fine when exported the other way. Most all jpegs are in rgb format.

Why are you exporting as CMYK to show a customer? They won't be able to open it....

To give customres a good idea of the what we're looking at, I send it over as RGB (24bit) and check the box that says "apply ICC profile".

Then they see what I see.

That was the trick - changed to rgb 24 bit and export looked exactly as it did in Corel

thanks
