Saving the image for four-color printing Before you save a Photoshop file for use in a four-color publication, you must change the image to CMYK color mode in order to print your publication correctly in four-color process inks. You'll use the Mode command to change the image color mode. For more information about converting between color modes, see Photoshop Help.
1. | Choose Image > Mode > CMYK Color.If you use Adobe InDesign to create your publications, you can skip the rest of this process and just choose File > Save. InDesign can import native Photoshop files, so there is no need to convert the image to TIFF format.If you are using another layout application, you must save the photo as a TIFF file. | 2. | Choose File > Save As. | 3. | In the Save As dialog box, choose TIFF from the Format menu. | 4. | Click Save. | 5. | In the TIFF Options dialog box, select the correct Byte Order for your operating system and click OK.The image is now fully retouched, saved, and ready for placement in a page layout application. |
