(This query is cross posted to the Color Management forum.) I am working on a book using FrameMaker 7, Photoshop 7 and Ilustrator 9 under Mac OS X- and 9.2. When it is completed, I will create a PDF file by saving a postscript file that will be converted using Distiller 5.0 with the standard Print job options modified to capture fonts for the job. I am using an Apple Flat Panel Studio display and the AdobePS driver.

What is the best way for me to manage color throughout this process? Should I maintain everything in RGB until it is distilled, or color manage even though it doesn't look correct on screen?

I see no color shift in Photoshop whether I have the photographs in RGB or CYMK mode. However, after I convert the photographic images to CYMK mode, they no longer look correct in FrameMaker or Acrobat after they have been distilled.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks, Dick
