I have had the Edge 1 for 5 years now. We upgraded from GA to Omega software a year and a half ago.

Plot files with images in them which were created in GA print differently than when the same plot files with images are printed from Omega.

So any old files to be printed have a special button to click on in Omega which adjusts to "GA Color Correction. ( That is of course if you remember which files were created in GA)

This isn't new news, most everyone here knows that.

But.... I accidently reworked a plot file with an image in Omega that was created in GA. Basically I got into the old GA files, and cut and pasted some images out of those files into a new file I was working with in Omega. Follow me?...doesn't matter. Look at these two images....it is the same original image, but the left side is how Omega prepared the file and the one on the right is the way GA prepared the image file.

I'm just posting it to help you understand WHY you need to click on the GA color correction when printing old files that contain images.

If you want to bring your old images up to date, open them in Corel Photo Paint and save them as a new name. Open them in Omega and that should do the trick. I'm not sure if they will still match old jobs though.

Well, here are the images:

LEFT: furnace.bmp called up into Omega and saved
Rught: furnace.bmp called up into GA and saved (two years ago)

Remember this is the same image...it didn't change. What changed is the assignment of "color profiles" in OMEGA
