The Magic Separator^™

The Magic Separator plug-in creates high quality CMYK color separations from RGB images. A copy of the plug-in is included with each copy of QFX. Magic Separator creates CMYK color separations suitable for use in prepress applications. These separations can be printed directly by offset or lithographic methods or placed inside documents in page layout programs such as PageMaker^TM and QuarkXPress^TM. The Magic Separator plug-in includes options for customizing the color separations produced, with the following controls and features:

• Gray Component Replacement (GCR)
• Unsharp Masking
• Grain Suppression
• Skeleton Black Generation
• Gamut Type Selection
• Overall Gamma Control
• RGB Preview of CMYK Separation
• Variable Size Preview Window
• Selective Color Channel Preview
• CMYK and RGB Sample Readout

Making separations from QFX is fast and simple. Just open an image, select Export-Magic Separator... from the File menu and when the Magic Separator dialog appears, click OK and select a file name for saving the separations. That's it!
