    Hi Corey,

    Can you, or someone else, please tell me why I can’t see the video for these tutorials?

    I cannot even see where the video is supposed to be, there is no placeholder or link to it, only the one sentence describing it.

    I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you
    Jacques

    P.S. I use Firefox v2

    Jacques, update your Firefox, they are past version 3.5 now.

    Corey, nice tidy tutorial, thanks. Please continue to use such riveting subjects in your images. Nice touch.

    These tutorials are great, but very slow to load (if they load at all). I am using FF3.5, and it does not load. I have tried Google Chrome and the latest version of IE on multiple computers on two different networks. Still, no luck.

    I just thought you should be aware.

Identify out-of-gamut colors

If you’re prepping a flattened copy of an image for press reproduction and need to tame out-of-gamut colors prior to converting to CMYK, choose Gamut Warning from the View menu. Flat gray will appear over colors that are out of gamut.
