Fortunately, InDesign makes it easy: Choose File > Export, then choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu. When you export in the JPEG format, InDesign always converts all your colors (including CMYK and spot colors) to RGB. 2. We make quite a lot of mood boards in InDesign, which we then export as CMYK PDFs (Document CMYK - U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2) as the image below. We then send them off to the printers to be printed on A2 photo paper and mounted onto foamboard. What I've noticed is that the colours in PDFs come out rather dull (on the screen and in print) when Hi friends, I and my friend have this doubt for a long time. When we open Color picker window by clicking the fill/stroke in tools palette, we see this RGB Color Space view. But we use indesign for print production and we need to know how to change this RGB Color Space view to CMYK Color space. So As we mentioned in your other posts there is no document color space with InDesign. You could only create and use RGB colors and place RGB images. If you are setting black text in a document that will be printed via offset, you will want the fill to be black only CMYK 0|0|0|100—RGB black will convert to 4-color CMYK at output. Make sure that all images are RGB and that they all have the same color profile. Make sure that the darkest point of every image is RGB(0, 0, 0). In InDesign. Make sure that Document RGB is the same profile as used in the images. Place RGB images in InDesign. Use an RGB(0, 0, 0) swatch for the dark areas. Convert to the correct CMYK profile on How to Convert RGB to CMYK in InDesign. Here are the steps to convert RGB colors to CMYK in InDesign: Open the InDesign document and select Edit > Assign Profiles. Assign the intended CMYK profile you want to convert into, often a printer or paper-specific profile. I'm making a work for school and I have to put together color palettes for some pictures. I also want to indicate the RGB and the CMYK code but when I get a color from a picture with the Eyedropper Tool I only get the RGB. I assume it is so because the picture is in RGB mode. A simple way is opening the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and checking out Overprint Preview. Under Show you can filter which color mode you want to see. Set it to CMYK to see all CMYK objects in your document and to RGB to see all RGB objects (white objects can be hard to spot this way). (Whether or not it's the right CMYK profile is another story.) 6dLLBb.
