  • colours desaturate after saving as PDF format?

    Posted by Eugene Hooper on July 15, 2010 at 2:22 pm

    Hey guys, I’m just wandering why my image comes out all desaturated after I’ve saved something out of photoshop as PDF? It’s bugging me quite a bit as I have quite a bit of specular, shading, variations in tone but everything appears substantially flatter and washed out when saved as PDF =\

    please educate me as to what is going on here…

    cheers

    Changing bit depth… adding compression

    Hi there.
    I was having the same problem….
    You need to rasterize each image.

    So selected the image > object > rasterise

    hope this works
