1. A method for including a reduced resolution continuous tone image in a print production format file, comprising the steps of:
- defining an output device;
defining a press;
configuring a press profile in response to the output device and the press;
receiving a reduced resolution image;
modifying the reduced resolution image responsive to the press profile; and
storing the modified reduced resolution image in a print production file.

Abstract
An output manager that is included in a prepress workflow between a raster image processor and an output device generates a print production format file. The file is created by defining an output device and a press, and configuring a press profile in response to the output device and the press. The output manager receives a reduced resolution image, modifies the reduced resolution image responsive to the press profile, and stores the modified reduced resolution image in a print production file according to the CIP3 format.
