From psd to to tiff color problem

[Erica]

Hi Damien, 

hope you can help me. I have to give a tiff and i worked the photo in ps, in srgb. To convert to tiff i flattened the layers, i convert to cmyk and then save it to tiff and i unchek the the box of color option (i´m sorry i don´t know how is it in english i have my ps in spanish) , that gets the tiff better but it still changing me the colors when i save it to tiff , I see like a different saturation ... What i i am doing wrong?  I attach my color profile and the jpg and the tiff, the color profile i´m working and the color option i uncheck

if you can help i will appreciate it so much!

Hi Erica, what program is this?

[Erica]

That is a capture, because it didn´t let me upload a tiff

[Erica]

i´m working in PS cc

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, but that screenshot didn't look like Photoshop.  What program is it?

[Erica]

Right.  And that's your problem.  Those free viewing programs that come with computers aren't colour-managed.  They can't even show RGB images properly, let alone CMYK ones.

ONLY view your images in Bridge.

In other matters, it's VERY important to always leave this box checked:

Never uncheck it, ever.

[Erica]

f i leave that box checked the color is horrible, totally desaturate. In bridge i can still see a change in the saturation of the colors...

[Erica]

okkkkk, if i see it in bridge the colors are not so different althougt with the box cheked. But i see it horrible in all the other places. Shall i trust bridge an d send it? they are still not exactly i think...

Bridge and Photoshop should be completely identical.  Please check again.

[Erica]

Yes!!!!!! I cant believe how bad i saw it in other places! So color box checked, save to tiff. Perfect in Bridge!

Thank youuuuuuuu!

[Erica]

The green is changing a little bit although...

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, good.

But I'd like to talk about this a bit more, if I may.  Can you tell me why you're converting to CMYK?  And which CMYK profile you're converting to?  Where are these photos being printed?

[Erica]

It´s for a packaging, my first time, they wanted a tiff. I never printed in tiff. Where do I look the cmyk profile? I go to mode and change to cmyk, then save it as tiff.

[Damien Symonds]

Oh gee, this is REALLY bad.

I don´t understand the article, so if i know the photo will be printed in  tiff I shall work on ProPhoto RGB or in rgb? What can i do now to save the greens?

[Erica]

I must do this changes?

TIFF is fine, it's not the problem.  (It indicates that your printers are old-fashioned and foolish, but it's not technically a problem.)

The point of the article is that you can't just change the mode to CMYK.  That's incredibly dangerous.  I want to help you make sure your photo will print properly.

No, that's only for newspapers.

[Erica]

Ah, so how should I change the mode?

[Erica]

This is what i have now.

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, that's the right place to change it.

But I don't know if that's the right profile to choose.  You need to ask the printer exactly which profile to choose.

[Erica]

ok! He must told me one of the name in here?

[Damien Symonds]

Yes.

Or, if it's not one of those names, he must email you the right profile to use.

[Erica]

Thank you!!!! a lot!!!!

[Damien Symonds]

You're welcome.  Please let me know what he says.
