(LET ME RESTATE: Re: Screen capture, display properties, CMYK printing

[litton@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks folks, for your answers, but I evidently did not make myself clear.
I've long been all too aware of the RGB/CMYK issues of which you have so
helpfully spoken.  The question I am asking is if anybody has any good
advice on how to set your display settings in Windows (such as color depth,
screen area, and appearance, which you set in the Display Control Panel),
so that, when you send screen captures (ALT-PRINT SCREEEN ->......-> .eps
-> Framemaker -> PDF) to be printed (CMYK) it looks as good as possible.

Thanks,

Brett

Under Windows, unless the image is brought in as an image in an EPS file,
CMYK is converted to RGB for both display and print under Windows.
