Converting RGB format pictures to CMYK mode for printing can be a complex task. It often involves using RGB to CMYK conversion tables, or various software utilities, to ensure that the colors seen on the computer screen will match the colors that appear on print. One way of making this process quicker and more efficient is to simply convert a file to CMYK format as soon as it is created if there are any future plans for converting the documents to printed format. Photographs that are imported into the document typically come in RGB mode, and it will be necessary to convert them individually. These can be problematic because they occasionally contain colors that are “out of gamut”, which means it contains colors that the CMYK color mode cannot reproduce. To check for this, click on the “View” menu in Photoshop and then “Gamut Warning”. Colors that turn gray are the ones that are incompatible with CMYK mode. Photoshop can either replace these colors with what it calculates as the next best color, or the user can use the color replace tool to select the color and manually replace it with the closest match. Once this is completed, the resulting document can be saved in CMYK mode and exported to Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign, and later sent to a printer or printing service, with the confidence that the document will look the same on paper as it does on-screen. This website provides CMYK to RGB color code converter and conversion formula. Greetings.
