What is cmyk in Photoshop?
"CMYK" stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black (a "K" is used partially because the letter appears in the word "Black", but primarily because using "B" could cause the uneducated to think it stands for "Blue"). The term "CMYK" is used in the print manufacturing industry to indicate a type of printing where various intensities of each of the 4 colors are used to achieve the final printed product. The most common alternative to CMYK is "RGB" (Red, Green, Blue), which is also used to achieve a final visual product, although the (current, but possibly changing) industry standard for physically printed material (books, magazines, etc.) is CMYK. RGB is more commonly used for digital images. Generally speaking, the CMYK format is visually more dull and often appears more desaturated. For example, if a designer were to convert an RGB image to CMYK, the pertinent color profile settings in Photoshop would attempt to match the colors in the image as closely as possible, but it is likely that the image would appear less "rich" or "vibrant".
