Error message

[Cotton]

Hello Board need some advice here. Just Got Corel X5 and I am converting DXF files to SVG files. When I save it gives me this error message "Non-RGB colors" "Details: All non-RGB colors are converted to RGB space, based on active color management (ICC) profiles.

Suggestions: Use only RGB colors during document creation and/or ensure color management is properly setup. Colors from the SVG color palette or RGB value equivalents will be exported using the corresponding color name, rather than the RGB values."

Please help this Newb to Corel, thanks!

that is a warning, not really an error, from using the CMYK color palette instead of RGB, when your windows/control-panel/color-management is set to prefer RGB colors

in corel, in the menu WINDOW / COLOR-PALETTES

uncheck CMYK and check RGB

(then hit TOOLS / SAVE-SETTINGS-AS-DEFAULT)

in TOOLS/OPTIONS/DOCUMENT/GENERAL you can set the default color mode to RGB, but that has little effect if you choose the palette as above

then any color you assign will be RGB and you won't get that warning

RGB means red-green-blue (monitors use RGB color space)

CMYK means cyan-magenta-yellow-black (printers use CMYK color space)

it's just 2 ways of specifying colors, rgb uses 3 numbers, CMYK uses 4

color profiles can be used to calibrate devices to display colors accurately for professional color reproduction purposes

for general purposes it is not all that important
