How do I convert RGB to CMYK using elements 11?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
i convert an image from rgb to cmyk to be printed i loose alot of my brighter colors...namely blues....i know these rich colors can be printed...(i see them all the time on flyers and magazines)...so what can i do to keep these colors...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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 RelatedWith 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".
Importing a file in RGB and converting it to CMYK values are different estremamante performing the same operation in 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. The conversion in coreldraw is too much dark and this is a problem. How is it possible?Here the setting of CorelDraw and Photoshop.

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:

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.

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?
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.

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using PSE8 successfully for several years. After using it all week, when I tried to open it today, I got a message that said something to the effect "cannot open because file is corrupt or cannot be updated and/or the catalog should be converted". Suspecting that after so many years I had too many files, I thought I needed to convert (not really knowing what that meant and no explanation was clear). After many attempts, it finally did that (converted) but now the only files that are included in the organizer are the files that were contained in my previous PSE version 6. Nothing beyond 2009 exists in this catalog. I made many albums from our travels in 2010, 2011, & 2012 that I spent hours creating and can't stomach the idea that they're lost.
how to, or even if it is possible, to find the old (new) catalog and switch it back. I'm thinking I could do a system restore but am not sure that's the most efficient way to fix this problem.
