The black channel behaves strangely & becomes muddy grey. Cmyk has lesser gamut so colors get clipped on conversion.Ģ. On converting to cmyk in PS the clients are not happy as they loose colors & the major problem is on 2 accountsġ. Now I have one catalog (and all of the supporting files) for the web and one for print.I Have been shooting with D60 & E10, major part of my work is RGB confined but lately agencies have been apporaching me for digital images for CMYK printing. That way, all of the images are updated at once. When I open the file, I am asked, “Do you want to relink?” I answer, “Yes”. This way, when I batch all of the images in the Links folder of the Print version, I can replace the images with the CMYK versions. Now I have two packaged or collected folders that contain my files. I package my document again, this time adding ' Print' to the folder name.
The packaged folder contains a Links folder with the RGB images. In my case, I have a catalog that resides on the web. Here is a little side note of what I do to save a step later. Next time all you have to do is run the automation, leaving you time to grab a cup of coffee while your computer gets the job done. The speed of this task depends on the number of images in your folder.Īnd here’s a bonus, the action you created will be saved in your drop-down list. Or, if you’ve already packaged this job and can overwrite your files, you can select the same folder.Ĭlick the ‘ OK’ button, and the batch process will start. Choose the source folder where your images are stored, then choose a destination folder where Photoshop will save the converted images. To batch convert a folder of images, select ‘ File > Automate > Batch.’ and the following window opens.Ĭhoose the ‘ Convert RGB to CMYK’ action from the drop-down menu. The action is now created, ready for the next step. Photoshop is recording, so select ‘ Image > Mode > CMYK Color’, then hit the ‘ Stop’ button in the Action Tab. Name the action in the text field and click the ‘ Record’ button. It’s the icon at the bottom of the palette that looks like a page of the paper. First, open an image, then open the Action Tab ( Window > Actions).Ĭlick ‘ Create New Action’. This is where you will need to create an Action for the conversion. It only takes a moment to set up, and then with one click, your computer is doing all the work while you relax! Let’s Get StartedĪll of these examples are done in Adobe Photoshop. No more will you have to open individual files, restore them, and save them.

By implementing this small automation in Photoshop, you can take your enormous folder full of RGB images and convert them to CMYK images in a snap. Here is an excellent shortcut to what could be a very long and tedious afternoon preparing your files for the printer. Many designers will agree there is something special about print, myself included. And though this is true, I still find myself with those few jobs per year that (thankfully) get published. I’m sure you have witnessed, just as I have, how many publications and marketing materials that are no longer printed, residing only on the web.
