What?s the difference between CMYK and RGB?

POSTED BY James S. on Oct 22, 2008 under 4381

CMYK and RGB are two different colour models, and understanding the
difference can mean producing a great-looking insert rather than a
muddy, disappointing one. We’ll have to delve into a little science to
explain this difference.

The RGB colour model is used by monitors, televisions, scanners, and
digital cameras. A monitor uses very small bands of red, green, and
blue light to generate colour. RGB is additive because when you add all
three colours together, you get white light; when you turn off all
three lights, you get black. By mixing varying amounts of red, green,
and blue light, you can create most other colours.

However, the paper used for a magazine, , and the
highlight on his head. The subtle variations in the background images
are also lost. Expect to lose detail and overall image quality if you
print an photo on the disc.
