Juice, testing designs

Photoshop, making images printable colours,

RGB - CMYK 

This image is RGB, it is used for on screen viewing, like websites and blogs etc... However, when it comes to printing, it is usually recommended that your image is changed into CYMK. This is because the brighter colours can't be printed.

This is image when it has been changed to CMYK, you can see it is slightly duller because the colours aren't as bright as when they were in RGB.

You can see how your colours will change, but going to 'View' then 'Gamut warning'. This enables you to see the areas that will be printed differently because they are too bright to be printed out. Once you have viewed the 'gamut warning', you can change the colours manually by adjusting  the saturation/hue.

Thanks to the photoshop workshop with Mike Flowers, I learnt how to make an image duotone, tritone and quadtone. When I was mapping out and visualising this design in my head and on paper, I had the idea that I wanted the photographs to represent the flavour of the juice through the facial expression, and also the colours. 

Perfect time to use duotone. 

Here is the image, that has been changed into CMYK.

Once I have gone to 'Image' then 'Grayscale', I think go to the same menu but click the option 'Duotone'

You then have the option to change to either 'duotone' (two colours) tritone or quadtone (three or four colours). 

You are also given the pantone reference for printing reasons and also to help you reference the colour again. It's also good for using spot colour to get a good shade of colour. 

Testing out 'duotone' to my initial rough designs.
