I am trying to bring a vector file from X3 into Photoshop CS3 using its Place/smart object features, and somewhere along the line the colours in the vector file are getting really washed out. I don't care how they look so much as they come into Photoshop with the same numbers that they left CorelDraw with. The only way I'm able to do that seems to be exporting it as a bitmap, and I'd like to go with a vector format if possible.
I have tried a bunch of different settings in the Draw colour management dialog, exporting PDF, AI and EPS formats, and turning off colour management in Photoshop, none of which seemed to make a difference. Does this sound like a CorelDraw problem or a Photoshop problem? It should be pretty easy to export and import a vector file without touching the colour values but I'm just not having any luck here.
Does using postscript convert my RGB colours to CMYK? That's the only thing I can think of.
