Hello,
I'm new to creating prints for my original paintings and have some questions about file exporting.
I'm using Gelato and they mention a couple things. First is 300 DPI which it is so thats cool. Second is that I should export the file as a PDF/X4. Is that just PDF? I dont see an X4 option in the File Types menu when exporting.
Third it mentions "If working in RGB, tag your image files with an sRGB profile. When exporting, save them as PDF/X4 files with a "GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.icc" output intent to maintain color fidelity."
I downloaded that color assignment and tried assigning it to my image but I got an error that says: ICC profile validation failed: Color profile is not for RGB color space"
Do I need to export as a PDF first, then assign the color profile? What am I doing wrong?
I appreciate any help!
