----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam McKenty" Subject: RGB vs. CMYK


Color management, yay! (not).
I'm going to be printing a bunch of scans, which need some adjusting in PS. My limited knowledge suggests that it would be better to tweak the images in RGB, then convert them to CMYK for printing (since the monitor doesn't accurately display CMYK images, so I might be tweaking them in the wrong direction if done in CMYK). On the other hand, if the conversion to CMYK /does/ substantially change the color values of the image, then perhaps I should adjust in CMYK...

Can I assume that the shoddy on-screen appearance of the CMYK images is because of the screen's poor handling of CMYK colours, and that when they are printed they'll look (roughly) like the RGB ones do on screen?

Any thoughts?

How are the images going to be printed?
