I was just told by a printing company that the image I have to send them should be in cmyk mode. so I made the conversion but now my image has lost a lot of it’s livelyness. is there any way I can obtain the colours in cmyk mode? if not, is there anything I can do to approach the colours of the rgb original?

thanks.

As was suggested, work in CMYK so you don’t have to convert – read up on it in Dan Margulis’s "Professional Photoshop", or at least read Chapter 2 – "By the Numbers", online at

Alternately, when converting, try different CMYK Working Spaces in your Color Settings.
