imported tiff much darker! why?

[roman0013]

Hi!

I converted an RGB - PSD into CMYK - TIFF (300dpi) in Photoshop. The TIFF in Photoshop looks nice... but when I import it into PageMaker 6.5 it gets much darker and it has much more contrast!
This is NOT a display problem... Because the TIFF looks also completely different when printing it in in Photoshop an in PageMaker!

Does anybody know why this happens? Btw. this happens with every TIFF...

Is there an alternative Format that I could use? Probably EPS?
Im working on Windows 2000, Photoshop 5.5 and PageMaker 6.5.

Thanks for ANY help or advice!

Are you using color management in PM? If not, set it up... then see how it works.

File>Preferences>General>CMS setup....

Also make sure you are using the proper printer driver in PM for your printer.

How does it look if you make a PDF of the PM doc and print? When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

Roman,

you may look here:

CMYKs cannot be shown correctly without PM´s Color Management.
Note: PM doesn´t modify the source files, it´s just the preview.
