• I should have a RGB AND CMYK profile in my document?

  It is clear - I'm a Dum-Dum Indesign. I have problems with a booklet that I print.  The same color of blue is printing very differently.  Two blue objects on the same page so differently that one of the objects looks purple print, and is considered the blue, I was expecting.  I did a bit of reading forum, and I wonder if the problem is that I cut and pasted some graphs in Illustrator, who may use a different color profile than InDesign.

  Enter my dialog box "Assign profile" selected buttons indicate that I use both CMYK and RGB color profiles.  Maybe that's the problem?  If you use the profile only one color in a document which requires the same color consistency?

  Update:

  I just checked the color profile of one of the graphics that I imported from Illustrator, and it is a CMYK document.  As far as I know, my ID document has been also implemented CMYK.  What I've done so far is: entered in attribute profiles and disabled the RBG profile, leaving only the active CMYK profile.  But is it possible that I use two different CMYK profiles, and that's where the problem lies?  If so, how to convert at the same profile so that the blue color is consistent throughout this brochure?

  Thank you very much!

  Can you give me any advice will be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  These fine technical answers are probably tell you more you need to know...  Basically, if you create a document and you want to 100% match, you will work in the space of a single color, only and with a working profile.  Assigning will change the appearance of colors, but depending on the circumstances, may lose the link fatally to original color values.

  Keep a profile when you create the objects.

  If you use an object that was created in a different work profile and this profile is tied/embedded, you can convert but not assign, affect the will perhaps break the color management and alter the appearance.  The only time where you must assign is if the object has already assigned profile and that you assign is the good that should have the object.

  As mentioned, appying effects such as feathers etc. can cause changes of colour of the original intent also.

  Opportunities to combine native RGB and CMYK objects and get a full match are small, as the colors are often converted by accessing the largest laboratory as an intermediate translation (among others) color space and the result is not symmetric (if you go there and back, you do not get the same result) and it is rounded values that causes small displacements.  These changes aren't bad for web stuff but results are often unusable in the press.

  Depending on your settings in InDesign, you can properly managed color in various objects that looks bad on the screen but to properly convert PDF for printing too... but that's another story!

  Keep things simple, to work in a space!

• 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.

• Breakdowns of RGB and CMYK

• Change of colors in RGB and CMYK format objects

  I recently updated day at CS6 and 10.8 OS...  Im working in several Illustrator docs using a 100-87-32-32 color. When I change the objects of this color by typing inside the color palette, it changes. If I click on, go away and come back to change the 100-82-36-29 or something similar.

  Retain certain objects and others lag. What gives?

  I think I copied vector elements in Illustrator from other programs and it has retained some of the metadata of color conversion. After copy, or outlining, I seem to be able to change and ask to hold the new color. There must be a bug, but on several elements that was going on.

• 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.

• Pro RGB to CMYK photo

  Can you please recommend the best way to convert 16-bit files Pro Photo RGB CMYK for printing prepress?

  I shot images for a Web site and print.  They want the images in a catalog and now I need to convert them also.

  I thank very you much for your valuable contribution.  I want to do it right the first time.

  Beth

  Beth,

  Everything above is correct, but... where it is going to be printed? What you have to offer? A pdf file, an Indesign? Is your monitor calibated? If this is not the case, how do you know if the colors are ok? As Peter pointed out, you know the profile that the printer will use?

  My best guess is, convert it to a 'standard' (in Europe, we have the standard "iso" for coated or uncoated stock) CMYK profile in photoshop and make a "standard" CMYK pdf Send this pdf to the printer and ask for proof of color on paper, digital without evidence).

  Once you have, you can refine your picture converted to match your level.

  Good luck, gert

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• My mind is wiped out. I'll put up pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for professional printing. Can you help me configure the proper color settings, and what PDF preset to use. And output parameters, etc. Thanx.

  My mind is wiped out. I'll implement the color pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for commercial printing in book form. Can you help me with the settings of color in Photoshop, that is to incorporate the color profile; convert in space work, Adobe RGB, etc. and which PDF preset to use, i.e. printing, PDF / X - 1 or 3, etc. Also, what I have to select the output settings such as the conversion of colors with the Destination or the printer deals with that. I know I asked a lot, so thanks in advance for any input or advice.

  Best regards, ScottyB34

  What are the settings of your printer wants? Some may deal with sRGB some want Adobe RGB Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-k in Photoshop, then choose North Amercian prepress 2

  He'll take care of the tags for you, or if sRGB is important, Norh American General Purpose 2.

  Here is a summary of the settings PDF and their meaning:

  When you are ready to create a PDF file from an application such as Illustrator or InDesign Adobe, we give you a list of the predefined PDF settings from which to choose. Well how do you decide which is the right choice? Well, let me explain what they do.

  Let's start with the smallest file size and the name of the type of the story. It is compatible with Acrobat 6, which means that anyone who has Reader or Acrobat 6 or above will be able to open the file. Now it converts everything in sRGB color which is a common space for color monitor.

  All RGB is truncated to sRGB, CMYK and spot colors also. So that means if you have a job to print, you can see some color shifts in this outgoing PDF. You must decide whether it is acceptable. He can't stand live transparency, not flattened. It downsize image content to 100 pixels per inch and this is part of how she made a reduced file size. It also uses aggressive JPEG compression of poor quality on the content of the image. So, you can see some of these rectangular JPEG artifacts.

  But it is how it gives you a reduced file size, and results are appropriate to be posted online or attached to an email.

  High quality printing has compatibility with Acrobat 5 and above. There is no color conversion. RGB RGB stays, rest spot, stays of CMYK CMYK spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency. It does not perform some downsampling to 300 pixels per inch. So, for example, if you placed an image which was 300 ppi and then set to scale up to 50 percent there actually a res then 600 pixels per inch.

  Well, this process would take half out these pixels. Therefore, it can create larger files but that makes it suitable for in the House of printing or sending Let's say a remote office if they want to print we tell cells leaves, or brochures, or something like. It's beautiful out on an internal printer.

  Print quality and high quality printing have similar names, so this may be a bit confusing, but print quality has compatibility with Acrobat 5 or higher. It converts the content of RGB to CMYK destination values according to what you specify as the destination.

  It is usually SWOP, S-W-O-p. It supports live, not flattened transparency. It performs the subsampling bicubic to 300 pixels per inch and because that it keeps at least 300 pixels per inch, which means that it can create some large files, but it is suitable for professional printing.

  Then we start to get into the presets named 'X '. 'X' is now for Exchange. They agree on specifications and the idea is to have a set of specifications if a PDF file is compliant to these specifications, we know it's going to be printable.

  We know that imaging devices are going to treat them properly. So this goes back to 2001, and which can seem a bit old, but bear with me. PDF/X-1 has a compatibility with Acrobat 4. I know, it sounds old. It converts RGB to CMYK content, it keeps the content of good tones. It flattens transparency. Downsize it at 300 pixels per inch. It can large enough crat files if you have large size images in your project and that it is suitable for professional printing.

  The idea behind X-1 is if you send a PDF file to an unknown printer, you do not know what are their capabilities, you send abroad, it will be able to be photographed on any device. No matter the age, it is, they can print. Over the years, the concepts of Exchange became more sophisticated the workflow and devices become more sophisticated.

  SP PDF / X-3: 2002, remains compatible with Acrobat 4 and that means that it flattens transparency, but it does not perform any color conversion.

  This means that it maintains RGB content, place remains in place, rest of CMYK CMYK. He still performed bicubic downsampling at 300 pixels per inch, and therefore, it can create large files. But this is suitable for commercial printing, if the printer signals you that it is present RGB content is correct.

  PDF / X-4: 2008 is compatible with Acrobat 7 and later. See, we're getting more modern. No color conversion. RGB RGB stays, stays CMYK CMYK, spot rest spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency.

  He still performs bicubic downsampling. Therefore, it can create large files because it maintains the pieces of the image to 300 pixels per inch or higher and it is suitable for commercial printing, as long as the printer tells you that RGB content is not serious and dynamic transparency is acceptable. Some older workflow does not support dynamic transparency, or they treat well, and that's why always ask. It is a special case in Illustrator, something called default Illustrator. Its compatibility is Acrobat 6 or higher.

  It does not perform the color conversion, everything continues like this. It supports transparency live, not flattened, and it also contains the original, editable Illustrator file in the PDF file. It preserves layers and it may be return, can be reopened safely in Illustrator and it's really the only PDF format you can do with safely. But it can create larger files, because you sort of two files for the price of one, they sometimes get huge.

  So what predefined PDF is Right For You? Well, if you want to send for printing, the first thing you should do is to ask your printer how they want the created PDF.

  They should be able to give you the plug for the creation of the PDF file. They may be able to give you job options files you can simply import and use as your preset target. But if it's a stranger the printer or the printer for some reason any said, well, I don't know, just make a PDF and this happens, well, choose the lowest common denominator to the PDF/X-1 test. Anyone can image that. If it is a more modern printer and up to date, especially if you send it to someone who uses digital presses, PDF/X-4 should be safe.

  I always go back to point one, ask the printer. If you send it as an attachment or you're going to post online, well, smaller size of file is a pretty clear choice. But remember this, you can start with one of these predefined parameters, and you can always edit it to customize your specific needs. So get to know the presets, understand the destiny of the PDF you create, and then make the best PDF that you can.

• 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.

• HP 6700 and CMYK printing colors

  Greetings

  I have a Dell laptop with Core i7, Windows 7. I designed a logo with the red and the black. The color of the design was derived from the RGB palette in paint. When it prints on my color inkjet HP 6700 the black color is fine, red, however, seems to have too much blue in there.  but because the printer's CMYK how can I fix it? I realize color is extremely complex, when you have a screen with its ability to color, RGB in a program and the printer CMYK. One of the websites that allows you to convert to CMYK RGB indicated 0 (255) green red and blue 0 equals 1 Magenta and 1 yellow with cyan 0. Is there a way to control the printer?

  Kind regards

  Dave

  Hi DaveABear,

  This isn't my area of expertise, but your question was very interesting for me.

  I did some research and found that Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design all the presets for the conversion of RGB to CMYK, dealing with the differences in the range of colors offered by each offer.

  Click HERE for a link to the web site for more information and instructions on how to convert RGB to CMYK files.

  I hope this helps!

• 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.

• How to change the default value for [Black] RGB to CMYK Indesign CC2015

  I inherited a file which is defined by default black in RGB. In the preparation of the document, its intention is set up to print. How can I change the mode from RGB to CMYK color? I already tried to convert profiles and assigning profiles. I use InDesign CC2015.

  Thank you!

  Create a new print document with the same basic grid settings and the same size of document with page 2.

  Drag all the pages from one to the other document.

  Remove the first 2 pages.
