![]() ![]() It uses the same color engine, so you can get exactly the same results. Of course, you should always consult the printer to determine how your job should be submitted - never assume!īut here’s the truth: InDesign can convert your images to CMYK as well as Photoshop can. You’ll still encounter print providers who insist on the submission of CMYK content, partly because “that’s how we’ve always done it” (and partly because some very small shops might still be using antiquated equipment). Thus it was that, in all the land, a decree went out, ordering that Thou Shalt Convert Thy RGB Images To CMYK Before Sending Thy Job To The Printer.įast forward to Modern times: Current print workflows perform excellent conversions of RGB to CMYK, and some printing processes - such as digital presses and large-format inkjet output - actually provide better and more vibrant output when fed with RGB content. True, in Ye Olden Days, the RIPs (Raster Image Processors) used by commercial printers to translate PostScript from graphics programs did a lousy job of converting RGB to CMYK, resulting in muddy, inaccurate color rendering. And we feel a bit like someone walking into a jail announcing, “Hey, the doors aren’t locked! You don’t have to stay in here!” Some people immediately jump up and taste freedom some wake up to the new realization slowly and others refuse to believe it, knowing that staying behind bars is more comfortable than facing the unknown. And in fact, you probably should not convert them to CMYK (at least not in Photoshop).Īs we have traveled around the world giving presentations about InDesign, Photoshop, and publishing, we’ve been constantly amazed at the number of people who are still using the old, 20th-century “convert to CMYK” workflow. So, even though we’ve been saying this for 15 years, maybe you haven’t heard it… so we’re going to say it one more time, with emotion: But you know what? This is the 21st century now and it’s time to wake up, smell the coffee, and change your ways for the better. And yes, we know that you’ve been doing this since 1989 with PageMaker 2. There's a Pixelmator Pro beta with Shortcuts support already available from TestFlight in case you're already running macOS 12 beta and would like to try it out.įinally, we plan to bring Pixelmator Photo to Mac at some point down the line which, hopefully, will open more opportunities for handling large volumes of large RAW files more efficiently.Yes, we know you probably learned to convert images to CMYK in Photoshop before placing them in InDesign. Again, Shortcuts will let you process the RAW images without launching Pixelmator Pro. ![]() With macOS Monterey, we'll also be introducing 24 different Pixelmator Pro actions to the macOS Shortcuts app. For instance, if you have all your RAW images in the Photos library, you can edit them using the Pixelmator Pro photos extension - no import needed. That said, there are still options for using Pixelmator Pro to edit multiple RAW images without having to import them directly. Right now, Pixelmator Pro as a standalone app, indeed, does not handle such workflows very well. ![]() By Reggie 04:00:58 a batch utility for raw photos is soooooo needed, I requested a long time ago, but the team said me that is working on ML Crop the app is lighter but when you open 30 raw photos, the app it freezes
