How do I downgrade a RGB photo (beige/blue plastic container with clear panes) so it prints off a CMYK deskjet printer (HP DJ670C) as a multicolor diagram without any dithering?
If I set the photo to indexed color /9color/primary (CMYK+RGB) /no dithering; the screen matches what comes out the printer, but I have no control on where the color borders are, unless I undo, twiddle the curves of the fullcolor version and reapply the color mode.
Ditto maxing out the contrast/brightness.
I’ve experimented with banding the colors in gradient mapping, <blue> – – – <blue><red> – – <red><white>- – -<white>
Converting the mode from RGB to CMYK
As well as FindEdges and Cutout filters.
In short I’m starting to suspect I’m going the wrong way about it by twiddling the RGB, and was wondering it there was some way of stating that you want the output to be undithered CMYK and dynamically steer ranges of RGB towards certain colors?
Any pointers?
