hey there,
I'm having problems getting accurate colours when I convert RGB to CMYK in Photoshop.
Converting from Wide Gamut RGB or Prophoto RGB to US Web-based SWOP V2 ends up with the colours looking all wrong. In Photoshop, the CMYK conversion looks ok but when I view the converted TIF file in ACDsee, the colours are nothing like the RGB version.
I've also tried converting from sRGB to CMYK, on occasions the conversion is quite accurate bu then there are instances when the CMYK file has inaccurate colours and the highlights get badly blown out, and the dark areas become almost pure black. Generally the image turns too contrasty. Am I doing something wrong here?
any help will be appreciated, thanks
