[howardmathews]

If I'm designing for print-on-demand t-shirt for example, should I use the CMYK thing only for previewing, and save normally in RGB? Sorry I'm a little confused.

[maenzeidan]

Thank you, that was helpful.
I want to know how can we convert RGB to CMYK and adjust the colors to look as close as possible. if you can help me with that, I do appreciate it.
Thank you anyways.

Interesting, This is Great !! From Herman Drost's Group Sharon

I still don't know how ICCs work under Windows 11. I have monitor supporting aRGB and wider color spaces (DELL UP3221Q), calibrated for this color space with LUT in use to store calibration result. Now, in Photoshop (Adobe RGB color space mode), 3 rectangles were created: filled with R, G and B (16-bit mode). Under Window's Color Manager I switching between standard sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and downloaded from Adobe's website: Adobe RGB (1988). I would expect changes in colors visibility, but there was not any change. These ICCs are generic ("flat"?), they don't come from any hardware calibrator.

Test #2: now I drew gradient from black to white in Photoshop. Switching between both ICCs makes noticeable difference. Gradient becomes linear in darks - more shades is visible when Adobe RGB ICC is set as default for monitor. In this case, we can see that something happens beside the scene.

I'm really confused. Hard to interpret observation. Most likely ICCs can't limit color range displayed by monitor / device. They can modify linearity of colors only. Is it true?

Moreover: when we open color manager in Windows, we can see much more options in "advanced" tab - WCS etc. Hard to find the answer what are that options for and how they works. Could you fully explain how ICC works and how to configure colors?
