I send my files to a good print shop. No prob to send a flattened psd in RGB at 300ppi. But, check w/your shop. Some shops even spec 300ppi, RGB, JPG. Most shops want a PDF at 300, though. Anyway, the file specialist does the RGB-CMYK and color correction. You can also do a soft proof, a preview of what it'll look like in CMYK, >View > Proof Colors. If you can get the printer and paper type, you can make a custom Proof Setup, but usually Working CMYK is fine. The shop's printer and paper may not be in the >View >Proof Set Up, >Device to Simulate dropdown. You can see the out-of-gamut CMYK colors by clicking >View > Gamut Warning. If it's just small out-of-gamut colors, the Remove Tool works for me, no need to mess with masks, adjusting hue, saturation etc. We just need to knock those out-of-gamut colors to CMYK, so whatever works. For large areas, sure, do the hue, saturation thing. Anyway, that's what works for me, maybe it'll save you some stress.

Great video! It helped me a lot!
Just a few questions:
1-. Is it better to export as joeg or pdf? Or when is better for esch case?

2-. When you changed the resolution to 300ppi the image size changed. What if you want to keep the size because you already know the frame you'll be placing the picture?

Cheers!!

Thank you for this video, been looking around but they never explain the part when it comes to the exporting bit

In case of going from rgb to cmyk:
One has to know what kind of cmyk. The best thing to do would be to ask the receiver for these specs and do a conversion from let’s say adobe rgb color profile to (for example ) an industrial standard cmyk profile for offset printing although it’s also common for printing companys to have their own profiles which combines the characteristics of a certain press/ink/paper combination.
A lot of companies will ask you to just give RGB and do the conversion themself to have a better control of the end result

Sound complicated but it actually isn’t

you can’t make 10 apples out of 5
the dialog is for print resolution if your original file is 72 ppi then you can’t make it up to 300 ppi

however you can scale the image within the same dialog and use precent value to scale.

or use special AI software to scale up

So if you export, will be in CMYK? Why does it not show CMYK in Properties after exporting? Like if you right client on an image outside PS to check its properties, RGB images always show RGB, but color profile doesnt show with CMYK images.

Out of curiosity. Once the image has been changed to 300 dpi the dimensions of the image increase.. Now, will it cause any issues if the image size is reduced in order to fit it into a frame? So in other words, we change the dimensions from (as a simple example) 8x10 to 6x4. Will that alter the quality of the image itself? Thank you.

Thanks for video but I think when you export your file as a JPG, your file bring to RGB again. You should export as PDF for printing.

What if you need to keep your image size a certain height/width ratio for selling digital downloads? Can you adjust the DPI to 300 without changing the size of the print?
