So should I be learning to do the conversions myself? What I've read in Martin Evening's section on the subject in 'Adobe Photophop 7.0 for Photographers' suggests that it isn't (quite) rocket science. That being said, it is presumably impossible to 'practice' conversions without seeing them printed (by a printing company). It would be something of a big leap of faith for a client to trust something that important to a novice, and it could be a good way of losing a client. Also, how helpful are printers, who are losing this part of their business to photographers and inhouse repro departments, in supply profiles, advice, etc.?
I can also see it becoming another digital service that clients will want for nothing. How much is normally charged for RGB>CMYK conversion (by both photographers and repro houses)?
I sadly missed Neil's seminars last week (as I was working); I would have asked the above questions there. I'm hoping to attend Bob Marchant's seminar, which I understand covers the subject, when it next happens. In the meantime, can anyone recommend other books, or other ways of 'learning' CMYK conversion, as well as answering some of the questions above.
Many thanks
