Bro you should not have stopped uploading. I just watched half of your last uploaded video and have learnt a lot of new things even when I have been using Photoshop since quite a couple of years.
Just as a side note to maybe avoid any confusion - From what I've read, the color gamut warning in the color picker is tied only to the cymk setting in the main color setup, whereas the color gamut warning in the main view is tied to the proof setup parameters. I need to test this out...Edit : Just finished watching and wanted to say thanks. I never considered the out of gamut warning was pre rendering intent, so you could end up double adjusting. Also, the tip about auto masking out of gamut colors was new to me 👍☺️
Thank you for this! I've been shooting and printing for years, yet you just taught this old dog some new tricks. Amazing video. Amazing results when applied to my own workflow.
That gamut warning greyed out thingy you show us how to do at ~ 2:50 is EXACTLY what I was trying to figure out. I knew there had to be a simpler way to find out which colors I could use. Thanks!!
You are a legend!!!! You answered EVERY question I had. What a life saver! No I can print my assignment with confidence! Can't thank you enough! :)))))
You are a great teacher! I respect you very much! I like Brandon Woelfel work very much. The colors of his work are very beautiful! Teacher, sincerely hope you can teach us his Post-processing and toning process.
thank you!! was trying to find how to fix the faded colors after converting to CMYK (for kdp printing), at least I understood some principles better here.
You talk fine. Talk as slow as you're able if people are complaining but not so slow that people will start saying you're talking too slow... No one will ever be satisfied! lol I personally could understand you just fine and wouldn't want you to talk slower. You're just talking how you talk ❤ and are explaining things well. great video!
Though it's true that printing always involves CMYK inks, if you have an RGB printer especially one with more inks then just the simple CMYK set, you are better of using the (RGB) profile created by the paper manufacturer for your printer, better yet, make your own. With modern paper and multi ink printers you'll get much more gamut then your CMYK profile which where made (long ago) for the printing industry and they are still in use in relatively small shops. Today the printing industry is also using more inks and the result is way more gamut then with the simple 4 ink systems. But I love the way you use to make an as beautiful print as possible, thanks.
Likeable energy, powerful skills, generous heart. Thank you so much! Would you recommend these for an illustrator working on drawings to print on merch as well (fabric print) ?
This video is going to save my ass multiple times before my upcoming expo that i have no business doing anyway lol. Thanks man this stuff is priceless for a noob like me! I guess i've been lucky mostly, until now, just spent like 15 bucks on prints that had artefacts, in hindsight these colors going out of gamut seems like the most obvious explanation. The darker photos printed without artefacts, only started showing up when i for some reason wanted lighter blues agian.
Great video! Shouldn't you have done another gamut warning check after you blended the correction layer on the landscape image, and after applying the correction layers on the portrait?
finally I got the idea, thanks a lot for the tips. Now if you can answer few questions: 1. In my case I want the reddest Red color possible to print on shirt. we can see the reddest Red color is FF0700 within the color picker (all the way to the right top corner). it states out of gamut.... do you think it's true, and it cannot be printed 100% with CMYK printer? 2. What the reddest red do you think can be printed? can you share color Code for reddest red you think possible to print? 3. or the reddest Red could be ee1515 - maximum? thanks boss
There is not a fixed answer because it depends on the particular printer gamut on what the most saturated red can be. The best and fool-proof way to find out is to take test prints and see visually and compare them to the screen.
Thanks for a vry good video. Your video takes attension to 4 color CMYK printers. Will the gammut be better e.g. using a Epson SC P700 that has 10 colors?
This is fab but..So if the ICC profiles and the rendering intents bring it within gamut so that we don't need to use the gamut warning, then when comparing the original image to the new custom settings image with proof colours initiated, in two-up mode, how can we then increase saturation to match the original image? Would it then not be back outside the boundaries of the ICC profile? I think I am clear on it all until I think about this stage.
I am very thankful for all the usefull information, but I simply don't have the option "out of gamut". Is it this possible to be missing from the latest update?
i am currently want to fix this error when PS auto reject my color picker which is cyan and its auto change to slide darker cyan. hope you can help me solve this error
Hi Sid, thank you very much indeed for this tutorial, and for your other superb uploads. The thoroughness of your explanations is second to none! I have found your method of converting RGB to CMK amazingly effective. The one difficulty, of course, is with pictures that contain a lot of rich blue colours. Do you have any thoughts on how best to retain the richness of an RGB image with a range of deep blues when it is converted to CMYK? All best wishes, Paul
We all struggle with the Blues hahahahaha. I actually stumpled upon this video exactly because of that, I'm making a large print that is purple and blue with some orange tones, and i've spent hours and hours soft proofing it and adjusting it. Sid's tips were actually super helpful.
@@motttta haha that comment makes me laugh. Just today i've managed to get a good print (just on glossy paper at a local camera shop) that has the same colors. Its got stars, a diagonal double gradient from dark blue to purple, and purple to light gold.. with wooden poles in a radial fashion which turned out to be... you guessed it, Orange (because of light pollution)! Hope this gives you hope. Its the only image that printed great right away. I have another shot of basically a mist lamp with a light blue, moonlit starfield behind it... I'm right now looking at 4 horrendous first prints with FINALLY, today, a pretty good print 😆 Good luck :)
Weird, can't get the mask to show the gamut. I have setup the proofing and can see the out of gamut warnings. Just when i use the mask, it isn't masking those.
How do you fix the play command error? I have researched it til I was about to pass out. I cannot figure it out. I even started from scratch for installation. :(
Hello, great video, but I have a problem. The image consists mainly of saturated navy blue with no gradation, I manually convert the colors to the closest value where the gamut warning disappears and it looks pretty good. But when I turn on the proof setup or convert to CMYK my color is different it gets faded. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? If I don't have any gamut warning anymore, shouldn't I have exactly the same colors after converting to CMYK? I'm converting from srgb to cmyk on a wide gamut monitor. Thank you for your help.
but how did they print saturated colors and photographs without color loss in magazine cover? please help me understand i also have another doubt i designed a poster in cmyk (with green as dominant color) it had no gamut warning every colors are inside CMYK color space. while soft proofing there is no change ( toggling ctrl+y) but when i enabled "simulate paper color" check mark in proof setup . it shows me a darker image (dark green) which is not i intented. i ignored and printed it the result was the greens turned out into dark green as it showed me when i clicked simulate paper color so here my doubt is can i fix this darkening of colors by your above mentioned ways?
The color saturation also depends on which CMYK printer you print on and of course the paper choice, iso you can experiment with high end printers and papers. Also certain colors you see on magazine covers mainly are sometimes spot printed, which is an extra ink used with a masked out plate for that particular area. But this option is quite expensive especially for a single print.
googling an issue led me to this video and your channel for the first time, and now i have discovered i still need to learn all these other things to put out quality work lol.....maybe you have an idea with what i just experienced, i created a color fill layer to do some highlights, and as soon as the color selection window popped up, my pen display (2021 huion kamvas 16) immediately powered off/on repeatedly until i disconnected it to think about what happened, figured out it was out of gamut color ....im glad i now know gamut is a thing i need to pay attention to for prints down the line, but right now i need to find out why it caused my new pen display to freak out.....any experience or knowledge on this?
I don’t know why you guys are always finding excuses for the incompetence of the printers, there will be a solution for this, instead of just changing the colour of our own artworks the printer needs to fix them selves
I like how this video is from 3 years ago and I'm glad I came across it. This is one of the most helpful videos I've viewed as I've seen countless tutorials on how to fix or try to match colors for print. Thank you so much sir!
Hi Sid and greetings from Argentina. I discovered this video just today and thought ‘I’ve read about this dozens of times, once more cannot hurt’ WOW!! This is so much better and clearer that its in a class by itself even when the rest of what I had read was from some of the top guys on this medium. Thank you very very much. Needless to say I am now a subscriber and look forward to taking a look at the rest of your stuff. All the best Tom
This is not really accurate - You CAN get special inks such as fluorescent colours that 4 colour (mixed) can't replicate so an extra Ink cartridge is added.
This is a great tool for printing accurately, I have watched it a few times and taken notes. There are references to additional backup teachings to complete your education if you need it.
This video is amazing. It answered so many of my questions. I have one unanswered I hope you can help with. Using Hue/Saturation adjustment to visual adjust out of gamut colours doesn't offer the out of gamut colour quick fix button in the colour picker. Can you think of a way to automatically push colours to the nearest in gamut colour like the colour picker does?
This is THE most helpful design video of any kind I have watched in memory. THANK YOU so much for this. I spent over an hour this morning searching for how to convert my RGB Illustrator file into CMYK for print My frustration level was quite high with the poor information even from Adobe themselves. By carefully watching your video once, and then mimicking the steps while watching and replaying certain steps more slowly, I finally got my file looking really very good and close to the RGB original! (Never simple export it from Illustrator to CMYK; it becomes flat mud-city!) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You're an amazingly good teacher and you think of all the possibilities. I'm aiming to watch your other videos this week! Hope you keep them up indefinitely, I'll need to rewatch each time I do some of these things!
Your head must think like mine. I have watched 3 days of you tube video and this one has answered my questions. I am now signed up and going to watch all the others. Thank you so much for your time I hope you become a wealthy man. This is gooooood stuff. Why can people just explain stuff as if you dont know what you are doing. Instead of assuming that you know what you are doing and missing most of the info out. clear and clean. Question are the ICC profiles that the printers provide actually CMYK profiles?
Hi there, I am really enjoying your explanation of the difference between RGB and CMYK and how Printers can not print Light! Thank you for this. I am planning on following your recommendation to watch "photo shop color change?" next, but I can't find it. UA-cam must have burried it in the search results. Could you please share the link for this video with me? Cheers to Teacher!
Bro you should not have stopped uploading. I just watched half of your last uploaded video and have learnt a lot of new things even when I have been using Photoshop since quite a couple of years.
This is the best explanation of color gamuts I've seen. Well done.
Best explanation of cmyk print conversion ever and I've been doing them for twenty years.
You are the best! Fix' Gamut Warning! Do THIS instead in Photoshop is the best video about this subject. Thank you so much.
I’m a super photoshop geek that has taught in workshops and your stuff is out of this world. Wow
Just as a side note to maybe avoid any confusion - From what I've read, the color gamut warning in the color picker is tied only to the cymk setting in the main color setup, whereas the color gamut warning in the main view is tied to the proof setup parameters.

Cannot understand how you do not have more subscribers. This video was amazing.
Really top notch workflow. thanks !

You are a legend!!!! You answered EVERY question I had. What a life saver! No I can print my assignment with confidence! Can't thank you enough! :)))))
This is an excellent explanation particularly when paired with StyleMyPic companion videos
Thank you! Saved this for later, because this tutorial is very clear!!! Awesome job
Absolutely AMAZING video! Thank you! 😀
I cannot thank you enough for this, man, thank you!
You are a great teacher! I respect you very much! I like Brandon Woelfel work very much. The colors of his work are very beautiful! Teacher, sincerely hope you can teach us his Post-processing and toning process.

great thanks man this video is a masterpiece💯💯💯
On the end better technique is not convert to profile CMYK, but previous convert to Lab colors and then convert to CMYK...
Please keep making videos
That blue...
Likeable energy, powerful skills, generous heart. Thank you so much! Would you recommend these for an illustrator working on drawings to print on merch as well (fabric print) ?
No-one Can do better than that , Thank you

very helpful. super informative. thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
This video did not fix my gamut issue, but I learned a lot of much needed info! My gamut issues pop up still, so I'm not sure what to do from here...
I also do not see an "Out of Gamut" option on my dropdown menu... weird.
Thank so much for this precious information!
Guess I`ll stick around :)
sir please make a video on channel mixer... your explanation is the best...
Very helpful. Thank you.
I am very thankful for all the usefull information, but I simply don't have the option "out of gamut". Is it this possible to be missing from the latest update?
is there a way to do this while using powerpoint?
i am currently want to fix this error when PS auto reject my color picker which is cyan and its auto change to slide darker cyan. hope you can help me solve this error
OMG !
Why not just edit made n cmyk for prints?
great video thanks
Does this process work in the same way if you have a 12 colour printer, such as the Canon Pro 1000?

Hello! Can i use it on ipad pro 2020?
Sorry, the ProWorkflow panel only works with the desktop version of Photoshop.
but how did they print saturated colors and photographs without color loss in magazine cover? please help me understand
i also have another doubt
i designed a poster in cmyk (with green as dominant color) it had no gamut warning every colors are inside CMYK color space.
while soft proofing there is no change ( toggling ctrl+y)
but when i enabled "simulate paper color" check mark in proof setup . it shows me a darker image (dark green) which is not i intented.

Sorry, you will have to contact the manufacturer. Sounds like a bug or defect.
I found this enlightening. Just one thing. You speak a little too quickly and it's hard to follow.
Cough cough LASER PRINT
Good info but have to pause the video to keep up. He talks very fast.
Noted! Will slow it down in the future.
I don’t know why you guys are always finding excuses for the incompetence of the printers, there will be a solution for this, instead of just changing the colour of our own artworks the printer needs to fix them selves
If you speak slow it will be better to understand the points all you are saying. The voice is so fast
You talk too fast to follow the steps

Just leaving the comment to boost your ratings and stuff :DDDDD Loved the video.
Why do we convert to CMYK? There's a video on UA-cam released about 3 months ago saying we should stay in RGB for print 😭 I'm so confused?
This is not really accurate - You CAN get special inks such as fluorescent colours that 4 colour (mixed) can't replicate so an extra Ink cartridge is added.
This is amazingly helpful, your delivery (talking) is a little fast, slow down to demo mode vs doing it mode.
good info, but why is his shadows on his video all messed up? irony haha. keep up the good content though
For me it keeps turning green even though I choose a printable gamut color! please help
Waiting for this video for a long time. you got yourself a new subscriber mate.
