Images disappear in PostScript files created in FreeHand 8.0 and 9.0 for Brisque 3.0.38 and 4.0

Brisque 3.0.38 or 4.0 produces CT Images with identical process values


Product		FreeHand 8.0 and 9.0 Brisque 3.0.38 and 4.0
Platform		Macintosh
Operating system		IBM AIX 4.2.1 and IBM AIX 4.3.3

Symptoms		CT images with identical process values for all the separations are produced from the Brisque RIP.

Cause		If you save TIFF/JPEG images created in a FreeHand 8.0 and 9.0 page as DCS2.0 (from the FreeHand 8.0 and 9.0 application), the RIP process in Brisque will produce a CT image with identical process values for all the separations. This also occurs if you interfere manually by keeping only the Cyan separation. Or: If you create DCS2.0 files in FreeHand 8.0 and 9.0 and place them inside a QuarkXPress page to create a pre-separated PostScript file, the RIP process in Brisque will produce a CT image with identical process values for all the separations. This also occurs with the Harlequin RIP.

Solution		These are known limitations in Brisque 3.0.38 and Brisque 4.0.
