How to change a file from a RGB to CYMK for printing in photoshop. When you open an image in Photoshop the default color mode is usually RGB. but it needs to be CYMK, so change it to CMYK and your good to go .When you want to convert a RGB to a CYMK you must open the image in file in Photoshop. Then next you go to edit> convert it to profile then you must select your target profile ( there should be a copy be in the computer as a file or just in general ) then go to library then color sync then profile folder. how to save the file as a CMYK color you must choose image > mode > Cmyk after the file that you choose. then hit save as in the dialog box , then choose TIFF from the format menu after that click save. in the Tiff option dialog box.then select the correct byte order for your systems. If you ever need this to convert the image RGB to CYMK in printing you do not need to change RGB or red, green or blue images to CYMK or cyan – magenta yellow – black images. Also some people debate which is better for printing RGB or CYMK? Well for one thing most web designs majority use RGB ( Red,Green,Blue) and as for print design the use color as CYMK Basically.

For those that do not know CMYK is if they have’nt read my last post is that is the model. this what majority of colors that you see and yet alone used in and describe for the printing process it self. it refers to the four ink plates used for some of the printing. Now RGB color is a model of additive color in which red, green, and blue can be added together in various to remake a broad array of colors. its name of the model comes from the three prime colors.

But there is a lot that you can do with it other then just converting it to CMYK or RGB it is like i said before every website you’ve ever has CMYK color to it and more then RGB. As long its solid colors that you are using it matter as long its converted into a file.
