Mandy Marie Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Hi I am trying to create a brochure with a lab. I uploaded my photos and I have inserted them into their template. They sent me a proof saying my photos were in RGB, so they had to switch them to CMYK. When they did they look too bright and have too much pink contrast. The first time I printed with them was no problem. The photos I am sending them now are used with the same lighting, same camera, and edited in Photoshop. How do I change my photos to CMYK without it changing the colors and quality? Edited February 13, 2016 by Mandy Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Marie Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Damien, Thank you. I read both articles. Should I follow your instructions from the newsprint article and try that or would you like me to elaborate from here? The company I'm working with is called "Uprinting" I designed and purchased business cards and brochures for my IPS Sales previously and they were perfect. But I've decided to change the photo. Now ive run into this shit. I'd go with a different company, but there is something unique about the cards that I don't wanna give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 So has this lab sent you the exact CMYK profile that you need to be saving your files in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean you sent them sRGB files, and they converted them for you ... and then what? Have you seen them printed? Or just on screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
