I am not very sure what you mean there - RGB images like those viewed on
a computer have no black at all - black is not in the spectrum. It's only
when images are sent to print that a black is generated by the conversion to
CMYK. The appearance of black in RGB has the channel levels 0.0.0 whilst
white is 256.256.256 levels of RGB. Black is added because when printing
100% of CMY is not only a poor effort at black it is also a serious waste of
colour ink when a solid black will look better - thus UCR was developed.
Basically - unless you are working in CMYK there never is a genuine
black...
