Sorry, I asked that question badly. What file format did you receive the logo in?

I mean, is it a PDF file, or an EPS, or something else?

What format is the pattern file?

Oh darn. Yeah, this isn't going to work, sorry. You really have to make this in InDesign or Illustrator.

Oh, sorry, may I have your layers panel included in the screenshot?

In order to help further, I really need to see your design.

Your mistake was to send DNG files. Of course DNG files can't be deep-etched, so that's why they had to save them as jpegs. They did the right thing.

Let me know!

Well, it's a heck of a complex program. Please feel free to ask me questions as often as you need.

Have you watched this one? https://www.damiensymonds.net/cmyk-pdf-video

You MUST start in sRGB. You can convert from there to anything else. You can't convert from CMYK.

Ok, so you should be able to send them your sRGB file?

I know what I'd call it ...

Yes, as long as you have trees, like the Peavey photos do.

Yeah, I'm sure we can manage it. Your job is to take similar photos. That is, with dark backgrounds.

Hi @JenDaniele, it either is or it isn't. You should definitely try it. You can't do any harm to your computer by trying. The worst that can happen is it just won't work.

This IS where I'm giving you one on one help. I just needed you to confirm you'd read that article, that's all. So, have you talked to the printer to find out the exact CMYK profile to use?

Standard.

Well yeah, better talk to X-Rite.

Goes to show how much the computer's graphics card effects the calibration.

You were calibrating the desktop screen attached to the laptop, yes?

Poor in what way?

Are you still there, @Michelle G?

How did it go?

To avoid colour shifts, I use Ctrl-Shift-U to desaturate the layer before running the filter on it.
