sorry if this is a dumb question:
i'm working on publishing a book of my photography. i've had enough design disasters in the past to know about undesired color-shifts and incorrect blacks when converting rgb to cmyk. so my dumb question is this: if i convert an rgb photo to cmyk for commercial printing, will the darks/blacks look the same? it isn't possible to choose between rgb or cmyk color profile when scanning is it?
and if i have to readjust (contrast, levels, etc) after conversion to cmyk, how do i ensure that the darkest black in my photos prints as true cmyk black (0,0,0,100)??
thank you in advance for your replies.
