Cmyk

[Soultorn]

First let me give a shout out to Trav. We'll be recording "Inferno" once we find a label to release it on.

Now, with that out of the way...
I've got CMYK questions.
I'm using a version of Paint Shop Pro, so when I go to save a .tiff file, I can choose between RGB or CMYK color channels. Choosing CMYK seems to make things darker. Saving the file again compounds this effect.
But anyway, once saved... when I view the files In the windows picture and fax viewer, or even open the files in my windows Paint program, they have this blue cast to them. Why is that? How will the image actually print? They open normally in Paint Shop Pro... just darker, as I said. Is that blue hue normal?

thanks in advance!

I recommend doing cmyk in photoshop only. that way you can convert
to cmyk and correct yourself rather than letting a program do it for you.
it's kinda like the mixing process after recording basic tracks in the studio, ha ha.

improper cmyk correction leads to a situation i lovingly refer to as "Print 'n Pray"

Yea and when you convert the images in Photoshop, for example from rgb to cmyk, I recommend to check the color settings (from Edit-menu).
That has quite much effect to the result..
