Auto RGB to CMYK

When I open a file in photoshop cs5, I want that it automatically converted from RGB to CMYK with me having to kick off any action.  I got this Setup on my old computer.  Pls help.

Maybe you had an Action or Script and it triggered by the event is open to

File > Scripts > Script event handler

But why to convert CMYK images anyway?

And you are certain that particular CMYK meets all future needs?

  • is the driver for win 8 for the printer photosmart D7360 RGB or CMYK?

    Hello

    I'll use Lightroom 4.2 (under win 8 64) and will have calibrated the monitor and the printer (HP Photosmart D7360) by colormunki photo.

    When the printer profile is generated by colormunki, according to the real printer driver, they will be RGB or CMYK profile.  Apparently, 4.2 LR will only show printer profiles to use if the printer driver is of type RGB.  So if it's CMYK, I would not be able to use the printing profile in LR.

    Is someone can you please tell me if this printer driver is RGB or CMYK?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards

    The pilot waiting for RGB data.  The real color in the printer inks use CMYK, but managed by the driver, applications need to send RGB data to the driver.

  • How to make an RGB or CMYK AI file to STAY in color, despite the presence of black?

    I give up. If I presented all lines at all in black to start, no matter how much color needs to go in the illustration, it will be necessary to constantly hit the color/options/RGB or CMYK registration to continue working in color. Complete a curve, join the ends, fill it with red... No, it seems, with the grey wire. Go to the color, poke 'options' Panel, scroll down to RGB. Check. Back to the figure of the curve. Adjust the black line. Fill with... Gray again. Back to color Panel. And so on. Is it possible to declare an image "RGB" or even "CMYK" and make it stick? I mean, same CMYK? What Black INCLUDES? And you, CMYK? I tried Document Setup-did not have a difference.

    The only solution I can think, after all this, is to dump black entirely and start all the drawings with lines of red, blue, green or dark blood. Does anyone have a better solution?

    If you select your line, not the K 100% color panel shows?

    Then, you work with the grayscale option.

    Select a line, choose: select > same outline color.

    Go to the Options of the color Panel and switch to CMYK.

  • Is it possible to convert RGB to CMYK images in Photoshop elements 12 or 6 Lighroom?

    Hello

    I am a freelance photographer, asked to produce images in CMYK mode to print. For the type of work that I normally do, Photoshop Elements is good enough. So, I bought not the full program of Photoshop. I can´t seem to find a way to convert my RGB to CMYK files. Someone at - it suggestions on how to do it?

    Grateful for any help.

    Kind regards

    Anna

    Elements has no CMYK support. You need the full Photoshop for this.

    However - you have good CMYK profile for the real press and used paper. If they ask CMYK without specifying exactly what CMYK profile to use, it's a gift: they have no idea of what they are doing. So ask them that.

    In any case, the common nowadays procedure is to present photography as RGB equipment, to be converted to CMYK destination on final export as PDF ready from the program layout (InDesign). This means that the images are placed as RGB in InDesign. In this way the material can be easily reused for press different conditions.

    In other words, if they run a color managed properly the process. There are still some who don't.

    CMYK standards vary around the world. The default value of Photoshop's us Web Coated (SWOP), which is not used anywhere outside America. Here in Europe the most commonly used are ISO Coated (ECI) 300% or Coated FOGRA39.

  • It is possilble to convert RGB to CMYK in PES 11?

    My external printer uses CMYK only and when they convert my RGB to CMYK image, color printed is different then the color that I see on my screen.  I searched the community for a similar question previously asked, but discussions gives me for PES 11.  Thank you.

    It is the same for all versions of PSE: No. Adobe is very strict on conservation that as one of the differences between PSE and Psalm you could ask your printing service if they do. They will generally, but at an extra cost. If you need to do this a lot you should consider the upgrade to CC.

  • Why the relative values of RGB and CMYK will not change when switching between Photoshop and InDesign?

    I'm trying to put together a Guide to color for my company's brand guidelines.

    Initially, I worked for InDesign and copied all H, RGB and CMYK values that I had when I went in an eye my original color palette.

    However when I put the same values of RGB in Photoshop I gives me a (somewhat) a different set of CMYK numbers than I had initially documented in InDesign.

    Why is this?

    It makes me feel a bit nervous leaving aside CMYK all together...

    CMYK is essential for a company's brand guide. The printer ask again, it's a simple and direct question. If they cannot answer this fundamental question, that speaks well of their professional standards. It is a common practice and highly standard procedure. I do it all the time (and get answers directly in the world).

    That said, if this guide in general and not necessarily related to this particular printer, it might be preferable, specify a profile which is commonly used as a general practitioner in your area. It depends on where you are. Here in Europe, it would be either Coated FOGRA39, ISO Coated v2 300% (eci).

    In the United States, I guess us Web Coated (SWOP) v2 would be on a list, not because it's necessarily just for the purpose, but simply done to be the default Photoshop. Printers must get loads of the present. Same here in Europe, where this profile is never used any where, a lot of people use it just because it is the default value of the PS and it never gets turned into something more appropriate.

  • Convert RGB to CMYK and RGB image

    Hey.

    I wonder if anyone has any experience with conversion of RGB to CMYK and RGB image?

    I had a TIF in RGB, then convert to CMYK, but I thought it would be best to keep in RGB, so I converted. I read that he meant to cause losses in the data, but I don't see anything in the image, it's always very huge and 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how I can see what I've lost through 2 conversions?


    Thanks for help

    Data loss, you refer relates to the compromise made when appearing in RGB colors fall outside the range of available colors printing inks. In such a case, substitutions are made in the conversion of RGB to CMYK based on your choice of the Conversion Option > intent found in Edit > color settings. The good news is that if you don't see a color change when you switch from RGB to CMYK and vice versa, this means that none of the colors in RGB mode are outside of the range of CMYK ink. I suggest that intention more appropriate for the mode switches such as the one you mentioned Relative Colorimetry is the choice more practical.

    When RGB, clicking Cmd + there will show a color change if the colors are outside the range of ink. Another signal is an exclamation point beside the CMYK numbers in the info panel. To see which areas of the image are affected by the limitation of printing ink, choose View > Gamut Warning.

  • RGB to CMYK becomes brown white

    Hi guys

    In previous versions - changing from RGB to CMYK, or vice versa would change the colors a bit, but ever since CC when I change one to another my white

    Brown and there is a yellow tone to the image.

    Everyone does experience - it is not light either see image. I haven't settled something - the original CMYK is on the left and

    When I do RGB - it goes Brown.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks, I thought about it, well not really, I just changed things up haha it worked.

    In my frame of color, everything was OK, but in the Conversion Options, the intention was defined on colorimetric Relative instead of perception,

    Once I changed that everything worked perfectly.

    A lot of trial and error and I don't know why this setting was different, but thanks for you help with this.

  • RGB to CMYK conversion in artificial intelligence

    Hi, my printing says a RGB file I sent him, and he needs to CMYK for printing.

    (1) how can I know that the original file is RGB color mode?

    (2) how to convert file have RGB CMYK AI file?

    Thank you very much!!!

    lhcheng,

    (1) file > Document Color Mode.

    (2) tick CMYK instead of RGB.

    You should be aware that the colors RGB and CMYK are fundamentally different, so more likely, you will need to create at least a few colors again, and you have to accept some inevitable changes.

    Many RGB colors will be changed to CMYK rather muddy and messy, as you can see in the color palette when you select CMYK.

    And a lot of bright colors will become less.

  • Is it necessary to convert RGB to CMYK photos if you simply print at home?

    I am new to the creative suite, and I use InDesign for a class presentation. I was told I should convert photoshop images I use RGB to CMYK for printing, but I'm just to the printing house on my little deskjet.

    Second question: if it IS necessary, why make an alert in photoshop by saying 'you are about to convert to CMYK using the "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" profile. This can ve not what you intend. "What do that mean and do I just ignore it?

    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have!

    The advice you got was specifically for sending from a project to a CMYK printing press. Conversion to CMYK was the traditional requirement of these tasks, since the days when most of the images were printed and more printed images went to a CMYK press.

    But it has been several years that it was true. Some InDesign workflow can use RGB images if configure you InDesign to convert to CMYK output, or if the digital press will do the conversion. Many House digital printers and newer digital printers are set up to work with RGB images. For example, you do not send CMYK images to the laboratory have printed enlargements and photo books made, you send RGB. As far as your inkjet home goes, it uses different colors as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) CMYK (some printers use six inks or more), so conversion to CMYK is not even properly correspond with the inks used.

    This is the reason why you see the alert message. It is no longer a world where convert you all images to CMYK for print, if Photoshop is to make sure that it is something you really need to do. Because if you convert to CMYK when you do not need, your images will look worse because CMYK does not provide the number of RGB colors.

    Blend modes appear different in different color spaces, because they are not affected by the color management, but the biggest change is in gradients. If the work uses one or more gradients just redo them in the space of CMYK color and you should be fine. For the best possible match in order to use the color management you must first select all and rasterize the image to output ppi resolution. Then when converting to CMYK only out-of-range colors as appropriate, will change your appearance.
