The RGB colors are converted into CMYK colors in order to make sure that the final product has good quality and doesn’t look pixelated. On the other hand, converting CMYK to RGB is also useful, this process helps to generate accurate preview of the final product in those cases, when CMYK colors will be used.One of the shapes in my template has come out a different red (the swatches were CMYK despite the document colour mode being RGB). I would now like to select all the paths in the document and make them all RGB red. However, when I open the colour panel from the dock the sliders are CMYK, again this is despite the document colour mode being RGB: Apr 06, 2017. if you can see the image below, the panels either side of the branding are the .pdf RGB text panels. The black text needs to be 100K but there are also other colours e.g red icons on the side that need to be converted to CMYK values. The template (the branding etc) is produced by Illustrator in CMYK - the 2 text panels either side R, 1.) G, 1.) B. Terminology may be a bit off. When you work in a "closed loop" and your output device is a "photographic" RGB printer ( Canon, HP, Epson ), then you can send an RGB file to it ( may be advantageous in type of color you are expecting ). Most printers can output CMYK, some better than others ( photographic vs. proofers ).
Tools -> Print Production -> Convert Colors -> Conversion Profile -> Pick the one you want. I would check after if the values are converted to K100%. Thank you! This Preflight > Convert to Grayscale is by far the easiest. Ideally, you would alter the images placed in InDesign using their native applications - Photoshop/Illustrator - then
