I'm not sure exactly what it does, but it does change the colors a little bit. I mainly notice it in a slight "lightening" of any dark colors in the image. But the effect is small and unobtrusive, so I usually don't bother correcting it. If necessary, a small shot of contrast and/or brightness (darkness actually) will get it back after conversion back to RGB. The intersection of the RGB and CMYK color spaces is definitely smaller than either of them (they don't perfectly overlap). TTYL, DougF - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
