Photoshop :: CMYK Conversion

Jan 6, 2006

I have designed a CD cover for my band that we will have professionally printed. I'm now told that having designed the whole thing in Photoshop using RGB, that it needs converting to CMYK in order that it prints out properly at the Cd Printing firm.

I have found the "image>mode>CMYK colour" function, but when I click it, it makes the whole image really dull and lifeless.

Photoshop :: CMYK Conversion

May 23, 2013

I recently photographed a set of pastels in raw. The body of work has been reviewed and the final color balance has been approved by the artist. I now need to export the images from their raw files to CMYK. to provide for offset printing. Adobe provides a number of options. I am completely lost on the options to select.
 
The Source Space is Adobe RGB 1998
 
The Color Space Conversion Options are:
 
Conversion Options
 
Engne:

    Adobe (ACE)
    Microsoft ICM
    Adobe CMM
 
Intent:

    Perceptual
    Saturation
    Relative Colorimetric
    Absolute Colorimetric
 
Selections with Selection Boxes

    Use Black Point Compensation
    Use Dither
 
And, of course there is a CMYK Set of selection options that I assume are based on the paper the printer will use.
 
Do you have a recommendation on the Engine, Intent, Black Point, and Dither.

Photoshop :: CMYK To RGB Conversion

Apr 28, 2006

I'm working on an image that I imported from an .eps file. I just noticed that it's in CMYK. I'm almost done, so I can't restart. I guess because .eps files are mainly used for printing from, it defaults to CMYK. ANyway, when I go to covnert to RGB it says it may alter the appearance. I can't see any difference, but I don't want to come back and kick me later. Does anyone know of any serious problems that can arise from changin image modes halfway through?

Photoshop :: New CMYK Conversion Behaviour In CS4 ?

Oct 27, 2008

With previous versions of Photoshop, when an RGB image in a given RGB colourspace was converted to CMYK by choosing Mode -> CMYK, it would convert to whatever CMYK was set as the Working Space in the Color Settings. With CS4 there's a warning dialogue that appears that makes one wonder if CS4 is behaving differently. It now says:

"You are about to convert to CMYK with no color profile. This may not be what you intend. To choose a profile, use Edit > Concert To Profile".

The resulting CMYK would certainly *have a profile* as it's the default selected in the Color Settings > Working Spaces menu. It's the same as if I had a CMYK file and selected Mode > RGB. This would convert from CMYK to whatever default RGB space is set in the Working Spaces menu. Yet from CMYK to RGB there is no such warning. Why not... the same logic would seem to apply.

I think the warning just confuses to user and makes them think an error's about to occur. A more appropriate warning might be:

"You are about to convert to your default CMYK (Color Settings > Working Spaces). This may not be what you intend. To choose another profile, use Edit > Convert To Profile".

CorelDRAW X4 :: RGB To CMYK Conversion

Nov 8, 2011

I have finished a logo for my friend Bob in Corel Draw X4. Made it in CMYK color mode. Used 3 nuances of green color previously given to me vith RGB values. My Corel change it to CMYK. I sent the file to Bob.

He has Corel Draw X5. When he opened the file and checked the CMYK values he was surprised because they were different from mine.

I immediately found an on-line RGB to CMYK converter to check which data is more valid when i got totally different CMYK values. Now i am truly worried and don't know what to think.

Here are the values:

Illustrator :: CMYK To PMS Conversion For Black

Sep 4, 2013

Is there anyway to convert 0/0/0/100 Black to PMS Black by replacing the cmyk swatch with the PMS swatch? I have a bunch of Illy packaging files that are using CMYK black that need to be changed to Pantone Black C and the only way it seems that I can do it is by selecting same fill and/or stroke. I tried using recolor artwork, but cant get that to work with cmyk black either.

Illustrator :: Choosing Profiles For Forced RGB To CMYK Color Conversion?

Apr 25, 2013

When a mixed RGB/CMYK PDF is opened in Illustrator CS6, Illustrator forces a conversion to one color space or the other. See this screenshot: [URL]
 
I assume this is a limitation of Illustrator and there's no way to keep both color spaces. Under that assumption, Is it possible to choose the profiles used for the conversion from RGB to CMYK? Can Illustrator be made to use the RGB and CMYK profiles defined in its Color Settings to make this conversion?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Pantone Conversion Tables When Converting To CMYK

Aug 23, 2012

Recently found another bug in X6. This time it is in the Pantone conversion tables when converting to cmyk. I had a job that had been updated over the years and the file was last used in X5. The colour in question was PMS 7406. The file opened fine & was converted to cmyk and sent to the printer unchecked. What could possibly go wrong - this file had been used countless times before without incident. Pantone 7406 breaks down to 18% magenta and 100% yellow (as per Pantone's own specification). X5 converted it to 17% magenta and 100% yellow. Near enough - I'm not going to quibble over 1%. However, opening the X5 file in X6 caused it to use the 'Pantone previous version' colour table (and you don't get any notification that it is doing it). Result is that it now converts the colour to 18% cyan, 24% magenta and 100% yellow. Where the #@**# did it get the cyan from? We are now talking about a completely different color!

It gets worse. If you create a new object in X6 and fill it with PMS 7406 (using the Pantone + colour table) and then convert it to cmyk, you get 6% cyan, 22% magenta and 100% yellow. Again, this is not the correct break down of this colour.  Pantone is a world standard with known conversion to cmyk figures. InDesign can get it right, Illustrator can get it right, then why can't Corel? And how many other Pantone colours are wrong? I have used Draw for 20 years and this is the worst bungle yet (apart from version 4). For a program that tells the world it is a professional program to screw up like this beggars belief.

If we have to check every single Pantone to cmyk conversion against the Pantone specifications, then it just isn't worth using Corel in printing. Add this to the font problems in Font Navigator and the scale error in Barcode Generator and it make X6 pretty much useless in the print industry. Throwing in freebies like fonts, second rate web creators and Photo Paint are not much use when the flagship program is sinking.

Photoshop :: Raw To JPG Conversion

Mar 3, 2009

I use CS3, 3gb of Ram and more then 50mb of free hard disk space.

When I convert a Raw image to Jpg the file size is reduced but opened in CS3 the Image size appears unchanged. What is the correlation between image and file size? I thought the Image Size was the horizontal number of pixels x the vertical. If this is correct and the jpg has less pixels how can CS3 show it as having the same image size?
in addition what is the use of Image Size other than to indicate the print size at a given resolution?

Photoshop :: RGB Conversion

Mar 6, 2008

Opening Nikon D300 jpg image (Bridge CS3/file/open with/photoshop) does a sRGB->aRGB conversion. Why?

The D300 metadata shows Color Mode RGB and Color Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 so that looks good. PS Color settings/Working Spaces/RGB is set for aRGB and Color Settings/Color Management Polices/RGB is set for Preserve Embedded Profiles (and the three check boxes are checked). I expected the sRGB embedded profile to be preserved but that isn't the case.

Photoshop :: RGB To LAB Conversion In CS3

Aug 11, 2008

I like to use LAB fairly often and have done so in CS2 with no trouble. I'm on Windows XP Pro, 1 gb RAM.

Now that I've loaded CS3, same image converts to black. All over black. Edge to edge black. I mean BLACK!

All channels are active (L, a, b). No mask is in effect. My working
space is ProPhoto.

If I convert it back to RGB, the image is still there.

What's going on here with CS3? I've done the usual color settings. I've deleted my preferences.

Also, when loading PSCS3, a message always pops up saying "there must
be at least one document open to run this script!" Don't know where
that comes from either. I'm not trying to run any script, just opening Photoshop?

I'm thinking I'd better uninstall CS3 and start over. Before doing
so, though,

Photoshop :: RAW To JPEG Conversion?

I have recently switched to shoot my photos in RAW format. I do the usual adjustments in Camera Raw and the hit "Open Image". Next is that I save my image as JPEG with the Maximum Quality.

Photoshop :: Conversion Between Mac And Windows

Oct 8, 2013

I work in a school district that is running an old version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 in a Macintosh environment.  The Macs are old 10.4.11 machines that would not print.  So, I set up a Windows Server with Macintosh accessible folders and copied files to this server.  I then had newer Windows 7 client machines available and copied the files over to their client machines.  Some of the files came over to Windows as CS3, but others didn't.  They show up as "File" in the format and not as CS3.  Is there a workaround for this, or another way to get these files to Windows?

Photoshop :: PSD Conversion To JPEG

Dec 26, 2012

Have been reading thread that one had posted about converting PSD to JPEG. From what I have read, seems as though no matter what you can not replicate the image you have created as PSD.  I have worked on a photo that was taken on my BB and to my pleasant surprise have been able to correct several issues.  I believe it looks so much better because of flattening and 16bit application.

Must say color, focus(originally was terribly out of focus) everything is great.  However, cannot covert and keep the work I have already done with Photoshop. Can I convert to JPEG or any other format that allows sharing without sacrificing what I have as PSD ?

Photoshop :: CS5 - Photo Conversion

May 19, 2012

I am working with a .jpg(rgb) straight off of a camera, I have converted it to CMYK as this is a photograph that is going to be submitted and printed and they want it CMYK , obviously.

Now I am aware that CMYK isn't as 'colourful' as RGB so I understand that.. Only when I save my photograph and open it, it is completely different to the photoshop file. COMPLETELY! And even when I reopen it in photoshop it is different.. See the image/attachment below is Photoshop vs Just open...

I have tried just the simple
Save As > .jpg
Save for Web as Jpg
Save for Web as Png
they are all doing the same?

I use CS5 on a Mac.

Photoshop :: Grey Scale Conversion In CS5

Nov 30, 2012

I've found a peculiar problem with grey scale conversion in Photoshop CS5.
 
The problem:
 
I have black and white photos in an RGB colour space. I can't use a black and white layer adjustment because there are no color channels in the image. I used the 'image > mode> greyscale' menu item to convert to greyscale, and in photoshop there appears to be no change to the greyscale values. However, when I place the image in inDesign, it is markedly different; blacks are pure black but greys are washed out.

I print the two images side by side (RGB and greyscale) and they come out identical (though darker than I expected). Is inDesign showing RGB or Greyscale differently on screen? I have the display settings at 'high quality'.

C: 75%
M: 68%
Y: 67%
K: 90%
 
I need to keep black at 100% but all the other values to be at 0%, so:
 
C: 0
M: 0
Y: 0
K: 100%
 
How I can do this?
