View Full Version : Painter 8 RGB>CMYK?

As a long time PS user, I'm used to being able to determine RGB>CMYK mixes for black density etc., and seeing those accurately (reasonably) on screen.

Painter 8 simply has "Generic CMYK Profiles" for the "Professional" setup... how do I know what I'm getting, and how do I adjust it to my preferences?

Also, Photoshop has an out of gamut warning box that lets you select a color that will print properly... is there anything like this in Painter? If not, how do you avoid painting something that will not print?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
