[QUOTE="hark, post: 649641, member: 13196"] I *think* what both of you wrote is the same idea. When reading online about converting to CMYK, several of the articles said not to convert the images after editing. Instead, they suggest creating the image from the beginning by converting the working space to CMYK. But it does leave me wondering how different an image would look if it's converted before editing vs afterwards. Didn't see any comparisons. Thank you both for the info. They didn't say anything about it last year or this year, and the guy didn't even check the color profile I used until I questioned the color. This is good to know though. Wouldn't have known that companies might have their own customized profiles. Thanks, Chucktin.
