What happens when you convert RGB to CMYK?
The underlying color model in Photoshop is neither RGB nor CMYK but LAB. It has the widest gamut, which means it can hold more color values than any other model. Of the two other models, RGB has more color values than CMYK does. When you convert from RGB to CMYK, the program first "maps" the RGB values into the LAB colorspace. It then maps the LAB values into the CMYK colorspace. Now, for REAL entertainment...take a pure RGB blue, or a pure RGB green, and attempt to map it into CMYK colorspace. It doesn't work at all. Red maps fine, but the other two go straight to hell.
Why is it necessary to convert image of a particular color mode into CMYK mode. Can any image be defined in two colors?
CMYK color mode is used for print and does not have as wide of a color gamut as RGB (video screens). So your neon blue will turn into a dull grey blue when converting to CMYK, or your beautiful flower on your computer screen will turn into a vintage photograph in CMYK. (Those are exaggerated examples). By converting to CMYK, you will get a closer preview of what the image will look like once it's printed and you can make adjustments before printing. But be careful because your screen is not accurately representing the printed colors.
What is an RGB document?
RGB is color model and is suitable for screen. All colors in RGB are made from 3 primary colors Red, Green and Blue. There are also other color models like CMYK which is suitable for print. You can convert RGB to CMYK and vice versa in Photoshop.
How can you find the CMYK values for a pantone color?
By "Pantone Color," you must be referring to Pantone Solid or Pantone Spot Color, because Pantone is the brand of a private company that sets the international standard for print colors. "Pantone" does not indicate that something is not CMYK.The mentioned company, Pantone, produces a swatch book called Pantone Bridge, and has the spot color on one column, and the CMYK process color on the other column so that you can see the color shift between solid and CMYK, as well as the CMYK breakdown. These swatch books are available online or in a local graphics supply store.

How do you convert a DIC Color to a PMS color?
Sorry but the best answer is sort of a math equation. "Math for designers" I know, I know...The best I could figure out; and have practiced, is that both Pantone and DIC can be broken down or converted to CMYK color mode inside Adobe Illustrator.The next step is to match the closest combinations of CMYK between the two DIC and Pantone values. Make a reasonable list of closest matching colors by comparing the CMYK values of both.Through the process of elimination cross out colors that deviate too much outside the CMYK values of the color you want to convert. You should have a closest match over all taking around 20 minutes.That's the best way I've used with failing at finding a conversion tool online.CHEERS!James Henry Thomas
How is RGB and CMYK related?
RGB is color mode which is suitable for screen, CMYK for printing with process colors. In most cases to print image you will first work with it in RGB color mode because you are watching your work on screen then you will need to convert to CMYK. RGB model is created from 3 main colors Red, Green and Blue, CMYK color mode is created from 3 opposite colors to Red, Green and Blue and they are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow plus Black color Ink. You can manage colors in RGB mode by increasing or decreasing participation of Cyan, Magenta or Yellow which are opposite colors on color wheel. In Curves dialog you can increase participation of Red color for example but also decrease by increasing participation of Cyan (pull curve in opposite side).
Which colour has the largest color gamut-rgb or cmyk?

What is CMYK code?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK, which are the four colors of ink used in standard color printing. A CMYK code is a set of four numbers representing the proportions of those four colors of ink, thus defining a color to be printed.
How do you convert a DIC color to a Pantone color?
If you want to convert a DIC color to a Pantone color, you must calcuate the CMYK value inside a graphics program such as Photoshop. Once you have the CMYK value you can convert the color.
What is the meaning of CMYK for computer and internet abbreviations?
CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)
How do you convert Pantone TPX to CMYK?
