RGB and CMYK at once in Corel?

[Flame]

Alright, longtime Corel user but I've always designed in CMYK... and now I want to design some stuff in RGB. How on earth do you bring in a RGB color palette to view as well as the CMYK?

You know, like in flexi you just open up multiple color pallates (sp?), can you do it with CorelDraw X3?

Windows >> Color Pallettes >> Select the one you want

The way we do it.. when you export the file out (.eps or .tif usually) you can just click on RGB in the drop-down menu.
You can use the same pallettes (we use the Pantone solid coated and the Roland Color pallettes usually).

That was too easy..... thanks Pro Signs!

Problem is, the blues and black. 100% K, when exported, is slightly muted, not solid black. And the blues all have a greenish tint to them so I have to use RGB colors.

Traditional CMYK black is just that 100% K...if you want a Rich Black, you must add CMY as well (about 20%-30% of each is pretty good). Now RGB black is essentially C100 M100 Y100 K100...not quite but pretty darn close. Try it...create a black RGB object, then open up the fill tool and choose the CMYK palette to see what the equivalent CMYK of RGB black is.

Yeah but I have my printer set up so that 100% K actually prints a pretty nice black. Maybe add 10% of the others... but for the most part, I sorta trained myself to think of 100% K as.... black.
