Omega – Cant import colours applied in Freehand?
Hi all, still trying to get to grips with Omega, (it won’t let me import colours I’ve applied in Freehand). I am trying to insert a piece of clipart in to text which has been converted to curves, not a problem in Freehand you just copy the image and tile it in to the outline of the text. Do you think Omega will import this, not a chance, imports them as two seperate objects.
I want to print this on an Edge and would like to run the job in two spot colours and not go down the route of CMYK.
Any solutions out there?Cheers

Cant speak for Omega but Freehand filters aint best out there…
however friends of mine used to Copy from Corel and Paste in Omega… maybe Freehand > Omega can do that.

Thanks Dave, just had to think a bit differently, wasn’t as neat on the layout in Omega, but at the end of the day I just used the overlap as bleed. Takes a bit of getting used to.

Not sure about the colours, however I’ve found that using an interim program for conversion usually helps. For example you might draw something in either freehand or illustrator, so export this as an "illustrator 1.1 ai" file, then import this file into Corel. Now export from Corel as an "ai" file (now replacing the ai you previously just made). FINALLY… import this latest Corel ai file into Omega. Bit of a pain, but it works for me!
I also used this route to paste a photoshop vector path into Omega 🙂
