This leads me to something I've been wondering (and I'm gonig to ask this
on Usenet as well) - do the colours shown on the screen after converting
an image to CMYK in PSP or PS really reflect the way it will look when printed?
I'm assuming they are inaccurate - certainly in PSP. If you save an RGB
image as CMYK then load it back in, the colours will have shifted a LOT.
I *think* this is because PSP is trying to display a CMYK file on an RGB
device (monitor) but I don't know for sure. When making CMYK TIFFs for
my brother's printing company I provided jpegs for comparison - so they
can fix the colours if they want. What I was worried about was that if
I edited the CMYK file, the printed result would look awful. Am I on the
right track in thinking that what is required is a profile for the CMYK
device before adjusting the colours in CMYK is advisable?
