• 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.

• What is the best way to match the Pantone PMS to CMYK color swatches?

  I am looking at colors Pantone swatch book for coated solid colors, but he should know that the best way is to match, as closely as possible, a tone direct Pantone CMYK color. Is it possible to see these side by side? or is there an equivalency in the book of PMS, as I remember them to be in the print version of the Pantone book (which also showed formulations of ink for different tones,) which shows the percentages of CMYK equivalents to better match a Pantone color? It would be better to be able to see the place and the CMYK colors side by side on the screen.

  It would be better to be able to see the place and the CMYK colors side by side on the screen.

  N ° it would be preferable to see the task ink and CMYK process inks-by-side on paper.

  It's why printed swatch books exist. I don't like what type of monitor you have, it won't look like a spot color ink. Period.

  Glow of monitors. Ink on paper doesn't work. The human eye is incredibly adjustable; So really can't trust your own eyes when you look at a monitor.

  Any monitor you use, it's always show you RGB. He can't do CMYK, and of course, he can't spot color.

  So when the game is so dang critical, you must have a hand book of shade printed Pantone and process printed swatch book. And the two swatch books are on a similar document.

  And if you expect to find perfect matches, you need to understand something very basic: many spot inks have no exact match to CMYK. You have to make Judgment calls.

• How to convert a return process color to spot?

  I have a file presented to me who was mutilated by another designer. A named spot color PANTONE has been changed to a color in the Swatches palette. When I try to go back to 'spot', a pop up appears saying "cannot change this property to color.

• How to convert #FF0000 (red RGB) #E60012 (red CMYK)?

  Hello

  Is it possible (i.e. the math formula) to convert #FF0000 (hexadecimal code for red in RGB range) to #E60012 (hexadecimal code for red to CMYK)? I understand that any color CMYK equivalent is generally darker in the RGB space due to the reduced range THAT CMYK vs RGB a.

  The side of web you found have CMYK to RGB conversion information which is invalid and useless. It's the same thing like finding a currency conversion site informing you that 1 US dollar is 1.56 money but do not you say in what currency is that.

  And even if you find which profiles have been used, how is that it will be useful for you? Let's say they have used a profile of RGB colors for a particular device. This color profile is useless for you, unless you have the same device in the exact physical condition when the unit has been used to create the color profile.

• How to convert a color in a new shade of color?

  Hello!

  I have a few shades, and I want to know the RGB values, so I can use them in Word. I can't understand how to convert a shade of tint a new shade of color that doesn't use relative values. I tried dragging the swatch in the Swatches palette, and it creates a new shade of reason, not a new shade of color. I tried clicking on the new icon shade, and it simply reproduces the shade.

  Thank you!

• How to export a file with a CMYK color profile in Lightroom?

  I try to save a picture with a CMYK color profile to send to a company that will print for me. I looked at the color profiles installed on my computer, and a certain CMYK profiles seem to be there (in/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Color / Profiles / recommended). I don't know if they should be expressly in the folder "Profiles", or if it is important that they are in a subfolder of that folder. This is on a Mac, by the way.

  The problem is, when I go to export in Lightroom, and I chose 'Other' in the color profile, I gives me any options of CMYK.

  Thanks for your help!

  Sorry... you can't. LR does not CMYK, RGB only... you will need to Photoshop or some other app.

• Work in CMYK color mode

  Hello

  I am trying to better understand how to use Illustrator to print correctly and my biggest hurdle is to understand how o use the colors correctly.

  I've done several tutorials and just need to clarify just to ensure that I understand them and I have do this process correctly.

  Issues related to the:

  1. I have read that it is possible to use RGB colors with CMYK to print and I sometimes see RGB color mixed with the CMYK colors in my color chart. Is it okay to use RGB to CMYK as my understanding RGB is to screen only?

  2 - is the right way to apply a CMYK color to work in Illustrator?

  

  3. I'm picking nuances using the guide in color in illustrator and when I double click on the individual color chart this screen with the little cube. I did some reading on this and there are sources saying that this has something to do with RGB modes? Still, leads me to believe that I do not apply color properly in illustrator. Here is the image:

  

  Would be really grateful for help with these issues, it will let me continue work knowing that my work is done in a good way before you start. It would be also nice to have suggestions or advice on the workflow.

  hope to hear about it.

  An Illustrator file is RGB or CMYK. The nuances that are the same color as the file mode a.

  You can set the color using different color modes, but when you click OK, the color is converted to the current document's color mode. It will change, and the numbers do not come back. The conversion is based on your color management settings.

  Some printers support the RGB files - it depends on the printing process and the machines they use. Print large format is often made with RGB files. As are some digital printing processes. Ask the print service provider about this.

• HTML in PDF format ready to print with the CMYK color conversion

  How can I convert a webpage (html) as a PDF ready to print, including a RGB to CMYK conversion?

  I use a free trial of Acrobat DC. What I tried, is to use the browser button to convert HTML to PDF. I then open the document and go to the menu "Print Production. I expected to find the option "Convert colors", but he's not here. Help documentation indicates that this option is available only if you export your PDF file to a device "high-end". What is a high-end device? I use my laptop.

  (1) under the Production of printing tools, in the right pane, you will find the convert colors tool. That's what you're looking for. Its availability has nothing to do with what type of device you send the PDF file.

  (2) that said, converting the PDF to CMYK color space is not necessarily required to print. You certainly can print an RGB and/or the PDF to grayscale for a local or network PostScript laser printer, for example. What makes you think that you absolutely need CMYK for printing any other type? Each RIP/DFE these days can directly manipulate the RGB content.

• How can I apply a current color fill for a stroke, then adjust the construction of the color of this race?

  Hi all, I am trying to find a way to automate a simple process, but repetative I do countless times a day. Ideally, I would like to attach it to a combination of keys to speed up my work flow.

  I'm working on the drawings to the mark and color for the shoes, so the way I'm coloring these forms and lines helps separate the various materials and parts of the shoe.

  The coloring of the line drawings, I'm working with Pantone spot colors as fillings for closed path objects. I have then manually apply that same color for once, the value of the stroke weight 0.5px, convert this color CMYK spot and add 15% of the value of K.

  I found a code in a former post office to apply the fill color of the object selected in the race, but I'm going to but I can't the next step to find how to take this spot stroke color and convert it to a generation CMYK that I can then add black to 15%. -What is still possible? I spent an hour playing with the script and had luck for the fill color or by turning the white line. Thanks for the help!

  OK try this, I added the spot color option

  

  // make stroke color same as fill color + 15% black increase
  
  if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {
      for (var a=0; a100 ? 100 : black;

• How to convert Process Black of a PDF tones

  We were asked to build InDesign templates for a book of math of PMS-two-tone. The design includes two PMS colors: a dark blue for most of the texts and the red highlights.

  Because our plugin Math does not easily work with (by default to process black) PMS colors, we hope to create all the "blue" text to print in black. The PDF press will have two inks: Red print black and PMS. The press, they printed the black plate in our Blue PMS color.

  This plan works on the press, but for a non-press use, we also want to visually match the printed book PDF files blue and red. Ideally we would turn black ink to a blue spot, but I don't know if this is possible.

  Question 1: Anyone knows how to convert a spot color print in black in a PDF document? PitStop can convert spot to process, but we want the opposite.

  Question 2 (what I can also post in the InDesign forum) do you know a way to redefine (or aliases) color chart of indesign black so that it works like a stain color?

  Thank you very much! We run a test next week.

• For the printing of P.O.D.: how to set the Adobe RGB color space

  Hello and thank you in advance,

  (I use InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac).

  I need set the appropriate PDF export settings

  To print a book on demand, with color drawings inside on the text pages.

  The instructions in Mandarin that I could find, say this:

  'Submit your graphics in color space Adobe RGB, integrated withprofile.'

  The big Question: how should I do that?

  I know enough to start with

  File-> Adobe PDF Presets-> print quality

  Then I click on the Menu 'output '.

  and this is where I start to get lost.

  for

  Color conversion...

  I think I should choose "convert to the Destination.

  for

  Destination

  I think it should be "Adobe RGB (1998).

  Now to incorporate this profile.

  What should I choose in virtue:

  Profile Inclusion policy?

  And is there anything else I should do to get these inside good printing color images?

  Thanks again,

  IthacaAuthor (aka ZorbaTheGeek, but the forum wouldn't let me connect with my old screen name)

  Virtually all digital printing is done via PostScript or PDF. In the first case, the PDF file is converted to use viat PostScript to Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF file is sent directly to the digital printer.

  In both cases, CMYK is actually the real destination color space. There is no true RGB printer! What is true is that non-PostScript / non PDF (laser printers generally low range and inkjet printers as well as specialized sublimation photo printers inkjet and dye) take RGB via drivers and that convert to CMYK, but I don't think that's what you deal with.

  Our recommendation to Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital, is to export PDF into PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default color CMYK (CMYK SWOP) space or if the contrary view of your print service provider, among other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or the print service provider themselves. FWIW, more peripheral to digital print on demand, have settings to fully emulate the SWOP CMYK printing requirements. The use of PDF/X-4 in this way allows the existing color in your document InDesign is properly tag in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK RIP the device level digital printing.

  (It may also help us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)
