Adobe InDesign mixed RGB/CMYK work flow hp designjet 5500 series welcome how do I ... tell me about ... the problem is ... legal notices glossary index Adobe InDesign mixed RGB/CMYK work flow who should use this work flow? Scanners and digital cameras typically deliver color to the computer in RGB (red, green, blue) format. By leaving the color in the images in original RGB format, the images can then be converted on-the-fly by the application software at the time printing is done. Images previously saved in CMYK format can also be processed in a mixed color work flow because color management also supports CMYK-to-CMYK conversions at print time. Another advantage of working in mixed color mode is that the images, unharmed by color conversion, can be modified for reproduction on a variety of printing technologies and printing materials at print time. Printing on newsprint, then on gloss offset, then converting images for presentation on the Internet is typical of the way images are managed in production in the modern graphic arts world. Saving original RGB files is the best way to maintain as many options as possible for output. Adobe InDesign has a sophisticated set of controls for the assignment of color profiles and rendering intents for a color-managed work flow.
