What Photoshop does, when displaying CMYK is on one hand limiting the RGB colours to those that fall inside the CMYK colour space, and on the other hand, saturating the ones that are close to those your monitor cannot reproduce. Yet, if your monitor isn't well calibrated, you get a totally wrong indea.

So if your monitor is descent and well calibrated, what you see is pretty close to what will print. Is that the right idea?

Is RGB primarily reserved for the web? I know that this might sound kinda...stupid... [saywhat] ..but I have always created my images in RGB and even though I usually put them inside html...I never really gave RGB and CMYK much thought...until now ofcourse!

When it comes to artistic design....my tablet, monitor and software are my only way to recreate what I envision.....my eye - hand coordination isn't there   ....I saw some of your images and was toally blown away by your visions...your images are absolutely beautiful.  Maybe in my next life the big guy up there will bestowe me with the ability to draw/paint by hand instead of digital pen/mouse  [excited] That would be nice...

I think I need to callibrate my monitor as best I can...Photoshop can do that can't it? and visit your suggested website and then start printing..oh yeah...I need to look at my printer manual...

Thanks again
