Dynamic Profile: full separation control with GMG OpenColor

As of GMG ColorPlugin 2.0, you can fine-tune your separations directly in the plugin to have print-specific variants created dynamically and fast by GMG OpenColor. Dynamic profiling combines the capabilities of both ChannelRemover and ChannelChanger, offering the perfect all-in-one-solution. All you need is an active connection to GMG OpenColor and an OpenColor project with a pre-calculated separation rule. (For dynamic conversion without precalculated separation rule, see: Dynamic conversion without precalculated separation rule)

How to convert colors dynamically:

1. Select the color channels to be converted and click the Dynamic Profile button in the plugin's main menu.
   The conversion dialog will open.
2. Under Source project, select the GMG OpenColor project that you want to use as source project. The channels of your selected objects are listed below.
   
3. Under Output project, select the GMG OpenColor project that you want to use as destination color space and activate the Precalculated separation rule checkbox.
   For output projects containing a precalculated separation rule, this option is automatically enabled. The color channels available in your output project will be listed below.
4. If you do not want to use all available output channels for your separation but only a subset, you can exclude channels from profiling by unchecking their box. For this example, we disabled the Violet channel.
   
5. Under Separation details, you can see the color ratios to be used and the estimated Delta-E00 (ΔE00) for each channel. Continue with the recommended values or fine-tune them by clicking on an entry and changing it. If you accidentally change values, click on the Reset Changes button to restore the default settings.
6. Under Advanced Settings, you can find further separation settings such as TAC, GCR and Gamut mapping options. Continue with the recommended values or fine-tune them by clicking on an entry and changing it. (See also: Advanced settings for dynamic conversion).
   
7. If all settings suit your needs, click on Convert to start the conversion. A dialog shows the progress of the conversion and will close automatically as soon as the conversion is complete.

Tip: Once you click the Convert button, any changes to the ink settings are automatically saved as variants, so you can quickly re-apply them in future conversions. (See also: Store and re-apply custom separation variants)
