Photoshop :: CMYK Conversion
May 23, 2013I 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 Conversion
Jan 6, 2006I 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.

Apr 28, 2006I'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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: New CMYK Conversion Behaviour In CS4 ?
Oct 27, 2008With 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 Graphics Suite X6 :: Incorrect Conversion From RGB To CMYK Photoshop

The setting of the color profiles is the same and also varying the options Microsoft ICM CMM in color management, keep varying the pure black and gray to black colleague CYMK, does not improve anything.

Nov 8, 2011I 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, 2013Is 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, 2013When 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?
Photoshop :: Even Colour - Setting CMYK

View 9 Replies View RelatedCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Pantone Conversion Tables When Converting To CMYK
Aug 23, 2012Recently 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 :: Document With CMYK Colour Mode
Aug 30, 2011I've only ever created graphics for the screen, now I'm trying to create something for print.I started a Photoshop document with a CMYK colour mode and soon discovered it would only let me choose colours that look murky on screen.
I've been all over the internet to read about CMYK vs RGB etc and I've seen things to suggest that printers can't print the vibrant colours we see on screen. Fine, but what about the magazine I have next to me where I can see beautiful vibrant turquoises and fushias? How did THOSE colours get on to the paper?
If a CMYK colour looks murky on screen will it look more vibrant when printed?

Photoshop :: Mixing A Spot Colour In A CMYK Image
Aug 21, 2009We would like to experiment mixing a spot colour in a normal CMYK image in order to expand the colour palette. Our problem is the fact that we cannot get Photoshop to show us the actual image once we have added the spot colour.
The spot channel shows as if it is being printed on top of the CMYK colours instead of being mixed with them. This makes it very difficult to judge what adjustments have to be made to the image. Of course, saving the file as a DCS2 and placing it in InDesign shows us what we want, but this is too much jumping back and forth between programmes to be efficient. We are runnnig CS3 on Windows XP Professional.
Photoshop :: Convert Document Into CMYK - Colour Picker Still Shows RGB?

Jun 22, 2011I've just been working with some building signage and business cards inside of Designer Pro 7 and seem to be having a really hard time with the CMYK Color selections. Regardless of what color i pick either in CMYK or a PMS EC it shows incorrectly in Xara.
Every Colors seems to contradict my PMS color wheel and the CMYK isn't even close.
Exporting the file into PS or Illustrator and the color is correct so there must be some way to adjust Xara to show to correct colors on screen otherwise selecting PMS or CMYK colors when working with Xara s pointless as you don't really know what color you have.
Lightroom :: How To Colour Correct Photos For CMYK
Nov 14, 2007I'm doing a set of postcards that will send to print using offset.
I will tidy up in PS and correct in Lightroom.
It's just when I make the corrections in LR(inRGB) and send to PS to convert to CMYK.
I convert to CMYK in PS only to loose some colour corrections.
you can only export as RGB in lightroom.
So what is Lightroom used for then? Only digital print or web? Does RAW have a CMYK function?
How can I maintain the correct colour to output as CMYK onto an offset printer using LR?

Illustrator :: How To Convert CMYK Artwork For Spot Colour Apparel Print
Sep 11, 2013I'm pretty new to preparing artwork for spot colour printing - it's a hoodie design in this case.
I created the artwork in CMYK originally, and have got some of the way towards converting into a 5 colour print job using Recolor Artwork, so I've got it down to 5 swatches.
However, the printer is asking for colours separated by layers, which makes sense - I think means knocking everything out so there is no overprinting - is this correct?
If so, what is the best approach to take, to avoid unnecessary work, to convert from the current artowrk, with a lot of overlapping artwork, to produce 5 layers each with vector artwork coloured with its own Pantone swatch?
Lightroom :: Convert And Colour Correct Images In CMYK Mode Before Sending To Printers?
May 21, 2013I've recently received a small batch of calendars from a local commercial printers. The colours are OK, but do not match the originals, especially the blue's. I've had similar problems with greetings cards from a different printer. The problem appears to be that I supply the original files in the RGB color space, but they print using CMYK.
I Raw process using Lightroom 4, with adjustments if necessary being made using Elements 10. To the best of my knowledge neither of these programs have the option of editing or saving in the CMYK color space. For more accurate colours is my only option to purchase the full version of Photoshop (CS6 or CC), then convert and colour correct my images in CMYK mode before sending to the printers ?.

Oct 24, 2012I've tried to convert several files using "Process multiple files" in Photoshop Elements 10. Input files are CMYK psd files with one layer and transparent background. They should be resized and converted to PNG. It works excepting the transparency in the PNG files is missing - the background is white instead. The conversion works however if I open a single file, convert it to RGB after prompt and save it as PNG. The background is transparent as it should.
So why my pngs are not transparent when using batch conversion?
