Printing Your Photographs
CMYK v RGB
What are CMYK and RGB?
CMYK and RGB are two different colour spaces, used to create all the colours we see.
CMYK, standing for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (a printers' term for black), is the colour space used in print. These four colours are used in different quantities to make different colours and shades on your flyers.
RGB, (Red, Green, Blue) is used by computer monitors to display colours. (RGB being coloured light, rather than ink.)
One main difference between the CMYK and RGB colour spaces is that when you use 100% of CMYK you get black, while 100% RGB gives you white. This is because of how each colour space actually works with light.
