I'm using Igor to generate plots and then copy and paste them into Illustrator for layout editing. I found a problem that every plot I pasted into Illustrator is with a CMYK color model, but what I want is RGB color model. How can I change this in Igor? I didn't make any changes regarding these stuff in Igor, and I'm using Igor Pro 6.3beta on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Instead of copy and paste, use Igor's Save Graphics dialog for more control of the format. Try saving as EPS (in RGB mode) and opening or placing that file.
I also got good results opening an Igor PDF format file with Illustrator 10.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8: it opened the document as RGB Color mode.
