How Do You Convert A Photo To CMYK For Commercial Printing In Photoshop CS2?
Most digital cameras these days capture images in RAW, JPEG or TIFF formats in RGB mode. RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue–the three colors monitors like televisions, computer screens and camera LCD screens use to display images for viewing. Most home printers or photo printers also use this mode with their equipment for printing photographs. But if you want to have something printed commercially–such as a postcard, brochure, flyer or business card, your printer will likely request your files be submitted in CMYK mode. Here’s how to convert your photos for the commercial printer. Open your digital photograph in PhotoShop CS2. Select “File,” then “Open” or click “Ctrl+O.” Then select the photograph you desire. Determine the mode your picture file is currently utilizing. Select “Image,” then “Mode” and then examine the drop down box that appears. Look for the check mark next to one of the modes listed. This is the mode your photograph is now in. In most cases, you will see “RGB Color”
