I’m working with a graphic designer to design a book cover for a self-published title of mine on Amazon. The purple in the cover image becomes dull when converted to the required CMYK.
Original Image
This is what it looks like after being converted.
The designer has adjusted the hue and saturation levels before the conversion to try to compensate but it’s not working. Does anyone have suggestions?
Answer
Yes, there is always a significant difference between RGB and CMYK whatever conversion you’re doing.
Yes, RGB tends to be significantly brighter and/or more saturated, than the converted CMYK equivalent.
No, the final print on paper will not look like any of the RGB and CMYK variations on-screen. The end product will also look slightly off.
No, the designer has nothing to do with this. It is the way it works.
That’s a good design. Once you get to your next books, you won’t even be thinking about this anymore 🙂
