I'm using Gerbers 1.56 update and recently noticed that closing my files and opening them the next day created changes to color assignments to my jobs. I called my local support and verified the problem. I was using the GA3.5 color pallete.
This pallete was designed for "monument" signs - whatever that means...
Anyway, If for instance you draw a box in red, copied it, pasted it, it would be burgandy. Intense blue turns to navy...etc..etc..
I was told I would have to use the less desirable edge 220 color pallete. These colors are dull in comparison, plus there aren't as many.
I was told I would need a $200 "monacle" to syncronize the monitor, scanner, and god knows what else.
If you have a solution to this problem, let me know.
Thanks MIke

Colour management is abit more advanced in Omega than GA.
You can buy the monaco meter that measures your monitor etc. However you can also do it manually, using the colorcard and Monaco instructions that came with the software.
I have also found some pallettes are not what they seem and some older files from GA look abit different in Omega.
If you are using Illustrator, Photoshop, OMega and maybe a couple of other programs it always seems hard to get the colours right across the range. I normally make this point to my customers , and then show them paint or vinyl equivalents.
Are you using your 3.5 pallette as the default? If you select that in the preferences you have to save page when exiting, otherwise when you close the program, it will revert to the 220 standard, and your jobs may look a little different.
Gerber has some good info on their site on Colour management.
Perhaps some others like Glenn etc can help you more.
