For Immediate Release
Release of EasySIGN version 4.5
Including revolutionary new color management system!
The challenge of color management for large format output devices is
to reproduce colors on a computer screen as they would appear on the
final output, a process called ‘soft-proofing’. Consistent color across
various displays and types of output is what is offered in EasySIGN
4.5, as close to WYSIWYG as possible!
The EasySIGN CMS maps colors from a device with a large color gamut,
like a monitor, to a device with a much smaller color gamut, like a
large format printer. The result is that all colors on a monitor represent
colors that the output device actually can reproduce. To achieve this
optimally you need color profiles (.icc/.icm files) for your monitor
and for your output device. These profiles are usually supplied by the
manufactures of monitors and output devices and additionally EasySIGN
comes with a set of default profiles suitable for most output devices.
Better yet, in EasySIGN you can actually change the behavior of your
output profile and see the changes immediately displayed on your monitor.
CMYK Red/Blue Color space have been added also in order to extend your
printer gamut. CMYK bitmaps can be edited for brightness, contrast and
color, in the same way as RGB bitmaps (e.g. “Variations”) as well as
the possibility to create a color library from the active worksheet.
More good news as for users of EasySIGN version 4, this update is free
of charge.
