Advertising art directors generally adjust the image in RGB and allow
the printer's pre-press people to do the CMYK conversion.

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?
