Clip Studio Paint .clip file exported as .psd is not playing well in Photoshop
Hi,
I work at a printing company, we use PS exclusively. We are working on both Windows and Macs, all current OSs. All current versions of PS. I have a client who sent me an image that he created in Clip Studio Paint (which I've never used), saved as a .clip, then saved his flattened final as a TIF, which he sent to us. I can't post a screenshot of it as it's his copyright, but it's a graphic that's meant to have both red and blue screeentones outside the black outline (like an old 3D effect). However, the blue/cyan tone will not shift when we print it. We try manipulating the color any number of traditional ways in PS and on screen, you can see the changes. The changes are not reflected in the print at all. It's the strangest thing. I asked him to send me a PSD so he converted the CLIP to PSD and sent me the layered file. The blue layer does not behave like a color layer in a PS file. It can only be altered at the extremes of the spectrum. Exposure is either all on or all off, saturation is all or none.
I am wondering if Clip Studio Paint treats colors so very differently that it arrives at a color in a completely different way than PS. Forgive my ignorance up front, but I am not an engineer and don't pretend to know how these softwares are built. I just know that a color layer that has been converted to a PSD from a .CLIP does not actually behave like a PSD. We are flummoxed over here.
Any help you gals and guys can offer would be tremendously helpful. If I am doing a poor job of describing the problem, I do apologize in advance.
Thank you,
Mike
