Our computers use a colour space called RGB to produce the colours you see on our screen. A printing press uses a colour space called CMYK to create similar colours. Send the completed files to a commercial printer, and the images must be in the CYMK.

The difference RGB vs. CMYK? The RGB colour is represented directly from a light source, and CMYK is colour from light reflecting off of a solid surface. The reason that RGB is on-screen and CMYK is for printing onto paper.

Reminder:
RGB = push or add light out
CMYK = Reflect or subtract light out

Welcome to the 60-second trick. Need to save an RGB image for print use? We will be resizing an image in Photoshop and saving this file for print. We are not resampling or own downsampling, but we are resizing an image.
