Why do the colors in certain images change or invert when I open them in DeBabelizer Pro?
The images may be in CMYK format. DeBabelizer Pro only handles RGB images. • Why do JPEGs become gray scale when I reduce them to 256 colors? Because the JPEG format supports only 24-bit color or 8-bit grayscale, DeBabelizer must modify the image when you attempt to send 256-color (or less) information to the JPEG format. By default, DeBabelizer chooses the nearest appropriate bit-depth (in this case, 8-bit grayscale). For this reason, there is no point using color reduction of any sort before saving files to the JPEG format (if you want grayscale images, use a Convert to Grayscale operation instead). If your source images are 8 bits or less, you can bring them up to 24-bit color by choosing Palette > Set Pixel Depth > Millions of RGB Colors. • Does Equilibrium DeBabelizer handle CMYK files? DeBabelizer Pro 5 for Macintosh handles CMYK files using Apple’s ColorSync technology. In DeBabelizer Pro 5, you can open and save CMYK files as Photoshop, TIFF, JPEG, Scitex CT, and DCS files. Use
