ok, just with a doubt......photoshop have this option, color settings......so it say...sRGB iec61966-2.1.........and i have this option for my monitor.......rgb p70f........so if i change it does it change on the impresion, the colors or something?.......also on the CMYK
if you are designing for print , you should always use the CMYK set up. monitors and calibration vary from one another. basically even if you calibrate it. what you see on the screen will never be exactly the color you wanted or what you think it is. best way to avoid this is to use the pantone color guide (for print) and enter the exact number you want. for monitor resolution use the web color guide.
Remoh beat me to it. Though I don't make much use of photoshop, I'd rather stick to fireworks as my main design programme. But fireworks doesn't use CMYK colors, so sometimes I just need to.
But yeah: RGB is better for screen purposes, CMYK for printing, as far as i know.
Adjusting those values should help you see on your monitor the exact colour you're using on Photoshop. As the guys said before, if you're going to do some (professional) printing jobs, you should work with CMYK.
RGB means Red, Green, Blue. It's used in monitors, because light is made of those three colours. Different RGB values = different light colour.
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK (it's black, but it's called something else, can't remember it right now...) which are the colours used on four colour printing systems (widely used systems).
So, changing Photoshop's colour profile will help you see more accurate colours on your monitor, CMYK values will help you know how will it look on paper (on a CMYK printer, that is).
nice thaanks very much......so......i ask about the rgb coz when im doing something on photoshop looks brighter when i export it to jpg in jpg looks darker......and on cmyk some colors change a little bit....thanks anyway....
the only bad thing about working in CMYK is that not all photoshop effects are available. switch back and forth to get all the desired filters (then again half of them you will hardly use)
