Photoshop :: CMYK And RGB Between CS5 And AI?
Feb 18, 2012I am using AI and PS CS5.I have an eps in AI that is set for RGB. The colors are how I want them.
Â
When I open the same eps in PS, PS thinks the file is CMYK. Whether I open the file as CMYK and convert to RGB or open at RGB, the colors shift. If I leave the file as CMYK, the colors are shifted.
Â
I can confirm that when I convert the file in AI from RGB to CMYK, I can see the color shift. If I leave the file as RGB in AI, it looks how I want.cannot get the file to show in PS as the same color as what I see in AI.I have confirmed that both AI and PS have color settings set to NA GP2.
[URL]...
Basically, the file with AI in RGB mode looks how I want. The file with AI in CMYK mode looks different.In PS, both RGB and CMYK color mode are the same as CMYK in AI. am not sure why PS does not show the RGB colors like AI does.PS CS5 and AI CS5 are synched:{URL]...
Photoshop :: CMYK
Feb 10, 2005I've been creating book covers in paint shop pro 8. I create the covers from images that I get from my customers, and then send them off to a printer to be printed. On a couple of occasions, the printer people have came back and told me my cover is created in "rich" black. I think they mean the CMYK value is 100% for all 4 colors. They won't accept that. My question is, in photoshop, is there a way once I receive an image to check and see what the CMYK value of that image is, and if so, fix potential problems as described above? It doesn't appear I can in paint shop pro. I have been looking for a good reason to purchase photoshop anyway since I'm sure its a much better graphics program.

Sep 3, 2007I have a flattened .psd file with significant areas of contaminated black that needs to be changed to key color black. The problem is that the color mode was changed from RGB to CMYK at the last minute after the file was flattened and saved, so now I'm stuck with large black areas that are not PANTONE process black, but are 90% K with varying levels of CM and Y. I need to replace the large impure black swaths of my file with true key color black without compromising the quality of the file to ensure the project succeeds.

Photoshop :: CMYK/RGB?
Apr 29, 2006I sometimes Export a vector image with a text I put on, from Illustrator to PS. I do that because I want to work some more on it. However, I'm not sure whether to Export as CMYK or RGB. I have been told that there are more options for working on an image, if it's RGB, it that true? Mostly, I want to do some effects on the text.

Aug 28, 2006I have a folder of images, some in RGB, some in CMYK. I want them all to be in RGB so I'm running a batch action on them with a conditional mode change. So, if a file is in CMYK, it is changed to RGB.
But if a file is already in RGB, I get this annoying alert, telling me "Mode of the document is the same as the target mode. No conversion performed."
Well, of course. I don't expect it to be converted. That's why I chose CONDITIONAL mode change! I don't want to have to hold PS's hand through this batch but it's making me sit through the conversion of hundreds of files simply so I can say okay that it's doing what I asked it to do.
I've checked the "suppress color profile warnings" box and told it to log errors to a file (i.e not to stop) but I'm still getting the alert.
Photoshop :: RGB Vs. CMYK
Mar 26, 2003I have Photoshop 6 and am trying to convert my company logo over to CMYK from RGB. The problem: I have it exactly the way I want it (colors) and try to switch it over and the color green in my logo is not the color I need.

Apr 28, 2009This is probably a hoary old subject but I've found surprisingly little help via Google, etc. I just finished creating the background for a large map, with over a dozen RGB layers, most with masks, a number of adjustment layers and some alpha channels. I've heard that for CMYK output it's best to work in RGB and convert to CMYK at the last minute, and colour correct in CMYK. That made sense to me for a number of intuitive reasons, but now I'm writing up the metadata and I want to give factual reasons to do this, not just my assumptions.
Obviously file size is one. It took 5 minutes to open or save this RGB file, CMYK could have taken 33% longer. Can anyone tell me how the math is done in PhotoShop? I'm wondering about the blending of all those layers with different blending modes, transparency, adjustment layers etc. In my map each pixel must have gone through a dozen or more math operations.   Will RGB, with it's 255 levels, be more accurate than CMYK with its 100 levels, or is the math all done in double precision and rounded at the end, or is the math all done in LAB or some other colour space?
Also, I recall encountering some PhotoShop operations that were greyed out in CMYK. I tried to discover them today on a test file but drew a blank. Can anyone think of any? Any other pros and cons to RGB over CMYK? Andy PS: This forum software is unbelievable. Hard to believe Adobe would have something so clunky. Like they're actively discouraging the use of their forums.
Photoshop :: Printing In RGB Vs CMYK
Dec 17, 2012There is a photo that I've downloaded from the internet that I'm printing and using for a class project. It was supposed to be Black & White, but when I first printed it, it looked sepia.
Â
My teacher suggested I add a Black and White adjustment layer, but since the photo was originally in Gray scale, I needed to make it RGB to do that. Once I did, the Black & White adjustment layer made the photo Black & White.
Â
Since I want to ultimately use the photo printed, I was thinking it would make sense to make it CMYK. When I try to make that change, Photoshop says it will discard the Black & White adjustment layer. Does that mean it will go back to looking like sepia when I print it? Does it even make a difference if I change the mode to CMYK for printing?
Â
Also, is it better to wait and add the Black and White adjustment layer only after I've made all other adjustments as the last step before printing. Or better to do it right away so I know what I'm working with when it's Black & White?
Â
Finally, is it best to wait and add type only once all the adjustments have been made to the photo? Does type lose any resolution when it gets merged into other layers?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Web RGB To CMYK Meter
Jan 14, 2013I have used the digital color meter in apples os to find rgb colors in a image. I was trying to find one that would give me the closest cmyk equvelent to the web color on my clients site.Â
Â
The problem is that i used a hex value in Photoshop to create the colors on a bizcard. but all of them came out darker that desired. This is the second time it has happened. I am starting to believe that hex values and cmyk are not friends.
I do not have 500+ dollar for a new screen. I own a LG 2750 that was as close to an apple monitor ad i could see (compared with the naked eye and some gradients as a baseline). This monitor makes everything look brighter than it is so i compensat for that by making things slightly brighter than what my eye preceves is right. My othe screen is its opposite, making every thing darker.
Â
This why i was needing a meter that would allow me to see the cmyk formula for the pixel i am hovering over. I would also wnat it to tell me whether this was a already a native cmyk formula (native to its range) or if it was just a closest estimation.
Photoshop :: Converting CMYK To RGB
Nov 22, 2011I am trying to create a header for my e newsletter in Photoshop. I want to put the logo on top of a background of the same color as my logo. I have the CMYK ref for the logo, and this looks fine when I print it out. However, when viewed online or just on the computer - the background red is slightly brighter than in print.
I have tried using an RGB converter to change CMYK to RGB but this hasn't done anything.
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.
Â
The Source Space is Adobe RGB 1998
Â
The Color Space Conversion Options are:
Â
Conversion Options
Â
Engne:
   Adobe (ACE)
   Microsoft ICM
   Adobe CMM
Â
Intent:
   Perceptual
   Saturation
   Relative Colorimetric
   Absolute Colorimetric
Â
Selections with Selection Boxes
   Use Black Point Compensation
   Use Dither
Â
And, of course there is a CMYK Set of selection options that I assume are based on the paper the printer will use.
Â
Do you have a recommendation on the Engine, Intent, Black Point, and Dither.

Apr 9, 2009My online printing outsource made a postcard containing my image and it came out about 1-1/2 stops too dark. When I questioned this I was advised as follows: "For best prediction of color output on a 4 color offset press, please compare your CMYK percentages with an industry-standard Pantone Process guide.">>This seems strange since a color image will have numerous different percentages of cmyk. I must be missing something. My friend who has the Pantone guide wants me to specify a Pantone number for use in comparing the image. I don't see how this can work for the same reasons (different colors, different percentages).>>The easiest solution I can think of is simply to brighten the image the next time I order postcards from this printer.>>
