• How to convert RGB to CMYK images in batches

  Hello

  Can someone explain in a way step by step how to convert RGB to CMYK images batch?

  Thanks in advance

  If you do not want to use Photoshop for the conversion of bact there are several ways, including lots and Image Procesor under the file > controller or file > Scripts of PS.

  However, my preference is to use the script from Russell Brown: Image Processor Pro, via the bridge:

  Like other similar is transformative image:

  Both allow you to make several conversions simultaneously, different sizes and file types and actions running before or after conversion.

• 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.

• helping to create 100 black drawing %K line in a CMYK image

  Hello! so, I'm having a frustrating problem. I prepare an image for an offset litho printer 4 colors, and the image must be in CMYK mode. I have two layers in the image: the bottom layer is all the colors, and the top layer is a black line drawing. I have all the drawings to the black line on the top layer converted successfully in 100 %K black for the printer, they need. I did this by selecting all the black lines with the magic wand tool, then Edition-> fill and fill with 100 %K, 0% magenta cyan at 0% 0% 100% yellow k. This worked very well. Here's the problem - when I then try to flatten the image, and I use the eyedropper tool to sample the black areas that were a second ago 100 %K, they are no longer as such. There are all kinds of different degrees of blackness once I have begin sampling autour after flattening the image. I can understand that, somehow the colors under black affect the darkness of the image, but I don't understand why. How can I fix? I need to have a flattened image where black people are still all 100% k thanks.

  Check Google or YouTube re: Photoshop Spot color channel. I think that's what you're looking for. (Your Spot color line drawing is black) The function can be found here:

  

  The book still print with four plates. The spot color is abandoned the other colors (they shrink the detachable part of foresee trap) and Spot art channel is added to the black plate (sometimes with a 40% Cyan, so to create a darker black.) Often, alone Cyan is used to strengthen the black to minimise fringing caused by tiny misregister press.)

• The gray image - save as pdf - CMYK

  Hi all

  I am trying to convert the gray image to grayscale pdf with Save as option. Once done the procedure, the pdf file after CMYK mode (verified in print in Acrobat production method) below.

  Guide to, how to clear this problem.

  Original image:

  

  Step 1: converted to gray

  

  Step 2: Save as pdf with few options

  

  Step 3: setting of pdf

  

  Step 4: Verify in acrobat, this occurs for the CMYK mode

  

  But I need grayscale mode (only for black. (Black once only wide, no need to display the image).

  In my test, using shades of gray and high print quality, the PDF file contains a gray scale,

  not a CMYK image, found by PDF analysis, image on the right.

  IMO, your test is bad. Your PDF file is grayscale, but the profile of your simulation is

  a CMYK profile, as in the image on the left.

  In such a case, a conversion is simulated. It would be correct to use a grey profile

  as a simulation profile, but this type of test does not reveal what kind of image the

  PDF file contains.

• PDF Images CMYK in RGB BOF

  We need to convert our publishers a PDF to EPUB, we have problems to convert CMYK images to RGB, it is an urgent issue, can you advise if you have a solution that we can use in C++, VB.net chosen, or maybe something else that we can use to do it, our PDFs is multi layers , so we must be able to convert images and text positions etc. get the PDF to perform this task.

  Acrobat does not support EPUB conversion, but you can export images in a PDF file in JPEG or PNG format using the Tools > Document Processing > export all Images button. This includes a color conversion option in the dialog box.

• RGB image convert to CMYK?

  Hi, newbie question here with CS5. I opened a vector clip of my clip art CD and it was necessary to ensure that the image is CMYK.

  The image opens like this:

  

  Then I clicked anywhere on the image to select all the paths, and here's what I got:

  

  Then I went to EDIT/MODIFY the COLORS, but the option that says "CONVERT to CMYK" is greyed out, like this:

  

  So I guess that the image was already CMYK. But then when I put it in InDesign, it's apparently an RGB image. I can't say that the links Panel or the Info Panel, but my preflight Panel warned me that the image was RGB.

  Finally, just as a solution, I have converted to a raster/bitmap, open in Photoshop and converted to CMYK image here. But I'd rather keep a vector image.

  My goal was simply to have the CMYK image.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  File > Document Color Mode > CMYK

  Then the command will not be grayed out.

  On a simple 2 colors like that you can just change the colors the manual way.

  Select a drop of cyan

  Select > same fill color

  Create a new color of your Swatches palette (global control so that it will be faster to make future changes to color)

• Brochure printed in CMYK seems always bad

  so... If using 'export' and convert an RGB to CMYK image using the available export settings it seems perfect... but this will create a PDF file on 4 pages instead of 2 pages divided into half the way I created the layout.

  So if I use print booklet that preserves the split layout... impression (creating a PDF) works very well if the parameters are RGB... I have two pages split and fitted correctly with appropriate colors.

  Now here is where it gets complicated...

  If I use print booklet with parameters CMYK booklet fate more saturated and pixelated.

  So I need to convert the images to not trying to print a booklet with images RGB and CMYK right... not the case.

  Even when you use photoshop to convert to CMYK, even if I leave the image faded, as conversion to CMYK often is the case, the output of Indesign when using "print booklet" produces a more saturated and result pixelated.   I even put an RGB image next to the same picture converted to CMYK and production, they become almost indistinguishable. So why export works adequately but not to preserve the layout and print brochure preserve the layout page but mess colors in CMYK?

  Hard to say without knowing your settings distill.

• I can't found the way to convert to CMYK in Photoshop element 14

  Hello!

  I have Photoshop elements 14 and I would like to convert a CMYK image (to keep the colors of the coil in the printing industry).

  You do not, because he was never present in the elements, only in Photoshop.

  And you're wrong, CMYK (CMYK) is only required for offset professional or similar, in this case, only the printer can provide an accurate conversion for its inks and papers.

  The CMYK mode is much more limited in color that the RGB mode used by your camera and display. Your printer at home and print more online services require RGB (sRGB or aRGVB) for very good reasons.

• InDesign makes clearer images when I add an object or an additional transparent image?

  Hello

  I often have a problem that i' of like to see solved, but for months I found no tutorial that would help me solve the problem.

  When I'm designing a book or a magazine and have a picture on a page or spread [double page] and decide to add a transparent object or apply an effect on one of the images, the other image [s] on the page or even spread seem to emerge, as if I applied some sort of effect of brightness on them , which I did not.

  and if I remove the effect that I applied on that image, other images suddenly back to their original appearance.

  Anyone know why this happens? IM missing probably a few obvious step or not to do an additional action...

  I should add that I always add the images in CMYK mode [in color] and grey scale (black and white) and 300 dpi, although I don't think that the problem comes from there.

  I hope someone can help.

  Thanks in advance!

  I'll let our color management expert Rob Day provide more information. He'll probably stop here tomorrow.

  I know that InDesign is not a color space in real grayscale, unlike Photoshop. David Blatner, a real InDesign expert, has created a good video series on color management in InDesign on Lynda.com. He said, "in InDesign, a grayscale image is defined as CMYK or RGB. If the mixture is set to CMYK, then InDesign sees this as a CMYK image with data only on the black plate. If space of merger of transparency is set to RGB and transparency on the page, and then internally, InDesign displays as if you converted to RGB in Photoshop. »

  But I'm not expert enough to explain it, in addition, a color management.

• Remove an imported image replaces another

  I hope I'm not that the bad sense!

  I created a 0:49 video to demonstrate something strange that happened in InDesign and estimated that it would be the best way to describe it... it is a link to the video on Google Drive. Just a little curious if there is no logical explanation for this... Thank you!

  http://bit.LY/1O55bc1

  I didn't say it exists on your monitor only, I said this is a problem of screen only and is quite normal when transparency is involved.

  But you're not going to tell me, that you only place the CMYK images in InDesign? Isn't it? Graphics, ok, but imagages? You should use RGB images. http://InDesignSecrets.com/import-RGB-images-InDesign-convert-CMYK-export.php

  If you need to make changes to a PDF file, use Acrobat, not Photoshop. And the art of the pixelation would require 4 x high resolution which causes an amount of 16 x size of the file to get the same result as a vector.

• CMYK blunt PDF exported despite being the same profiles

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me. I created work in Photoshop using the same profiles CMYK as what I use in Indesign, and yet I still end up with a dull PDF when exporting. I can't work on why I get a color difference when profiles are exactly the same?

  Here are the settings I used in Photoshop:

  Designed in CMYK mode:

  Context: the versatile 2 North America

  CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

  > Work recorded in flattened TIFF (I tried both with "Embed color profile" checked and unchecked)

  Here are the settings I used in Indesign:

  Context: the versatile 2 North America

  CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

  Color management: CMYK: preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles)

  Profile mismatches: ask when opening ticked (no incompatibilities have been bought to my attention during the placement of my CMYK image, or when you open the document saved again once with my CMYK image)

  Here are the settings I used when exporting as a PDF (I have not changed the default settings):

  Print quality

  Convert to destination (preserve numbers)

  Destination: Document CMYK: us Web Coated (SWOP) v2

  Profile inclusion policy: do not include profiles

  For me, all my color settings alike, and yet I still get a dull PDF as the result. Is there something that I am missing? I've attached an example here.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  When you view the PDF file? AcrobatPro? If you look in AcrobatPro open preview the output and make sure that the profile of Simulation is set to us Web Coated (SWOP) v2

• Levels of gray to CMYK conversion issue?

  Hi, I have a print job that is currently using a tiff in grayscale for black printing.

  My problem is that I need to add a spot color. When I convert tiff CMYK it splits values among all 4 channels.

  Does anyone know how convert a grayscale in CMYK tiff file, but keep the black of the gray-scale right on the K channel.

  Or I can flatten the CMYK channels and get them on the K only.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated

  Antony

  I'm not sure that's what you're after, but consider this:

  Choose Edition > color settings > CMYK > Custom > Black generation > maximum

  When you change the Mode of the b & w tiff CMYK image will deliver in K

  

  Return to your normal configuration when the project is complete, so that future work will not be affected.

• 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.
