    Hi YYZ.

     

    Fresco only supports RGB and HSB color profiles.

    Why would you need CMYK in 2019? We're living in the age of «media neutral» workflows…

    Book (print) publishing still requires CMYK.

      Print factories require CMYK PDF but you should prepare your artwork in RGB and the conversion to CMYK should be done as the last step - usually done in InDesign or Acrobat (or by printing machine as Theresa said)

        If you need a CMYK file you can export the document as a PSD and then open it in Photoshop to do the conversion. Here are directions https://community.adobe.com/t5/Fresco/How-about-moving-the-drawing-to-Photoshop/td-p/10635833.

        However you might be better off letting your printer do the conversion. Check with them first.

          Hi, would you mind being more specific? RGB and HSB are color models, not exactly profiles.
          Fresco on Windows doesn't seem to have any mechanism to set color profiles (actually, I couldn't find any setting related to colour management at all).
          Does it assume sRGB? Is it managed at all?
