exporting and color space
Sep 13th, 2005, 9:51pm  
I'm working on making a aplet that will import an .csv file (comma separated text), automatically create an image with the information, then export it. The problems however are 1) processing only supports RGB color (which when saving an image puts that image in the color space of your monitor, and 2) processing (as i understand it) doesn't export to .pdf or .eps format. I'm interested in making this aplet as a means of automatically creating images for print. If anyone has any thoughts on how I might go about solving the RGB and exporting problems, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

to solve the print problems, you can use either the illustrator or postscript export libraries. more information here:

i think you need to give more information about your color worries to receive a good response. many modern digital printers work well printing RGB images. are you trying to export to CMYK? why can't you just convert to a different color space in a different application?
