OUGD504: Studio Brief 1 - Design for Print // Creative Suite Workshop

Designing for the Print Process

  • RGB colour gamut is much larger than the CMYK gamut.
  • RGB is Photoshop's default mode,
  • RGB files are smaller, than CMYK,
  • View > Gamut Warning - It gives you can overlay to show the unprintable colours. 
  • You can then use adjustment layers to remove the gamut warning's grey area.
  • If you turn on proof colours as soon as you start editing, you can see how it will look when you print it out. 
  • The symbols next to the colour preview in photoshop's colour pickers indicate if the colours are web safe and printable. 
  • You can save, add, delete and load swatches like you can in Adobe Illustrator.
  • The mode of a photoshop image cannot support two colour modes at once. Unlike Illustrator, CMYK and Spot colours cannot work side by side.


Creating a duotone image

  • Image > duotone 
  • Duotones are editable at any point.
  • You don't get the option to save in any format that won't support a duotone. 
  • You can also edit the tone in the channels menu. To a great extent.
