colour match in photoshop

[kl2]

hi

if i create a colour in photoshop in a cmyk file, why doesn't it print the same as the same colour makeup out of fh8?
is there a way to fix this?

Are you printing to a non-Postscript printer? What format is the file
saved from Photoshop? You'll find that TIF and EPS are the most
reliable, but the latter is of no use in a non-Postscript workflow.

You need both Photoshop's and Freehand's colour management settings set
up as similarly as possible. Here's a screenshot of my settings that may
help: [url]http://www.bqprint.co.uk/otherstuff/cmsettingsosx.jpg[/url]
