...And CMYK is outdated, no one should be doing that anymore.
Maybe I should calrify, and say no one should be converting images in PS to CMYK
Assuming that like the rest of the world, you submit files via PDF -- the process (the algorithim?) used to make RGB photos to CMYK in Photoshop is the same as every other Adobe application.
So:
Photoshop file >> RGB to CMYK >> Save -- then place the file in ID or AI to make your PDF
is the same as
ID/Ai filled with RGB images >> export to CMYK PDF >> where ID/Ai handles the RGB to CMYK conversion
I design 11 "luxury home" magazines across the country with hundreds of photos -- if I saved them as CMYK tiffs i would need TBs and TBs of storage. But as RGB high quality Jpgs its fraction of the space. And we print with 400 DPI line screens -- never an isseu..
Ah, gotcha. Good point. In the case of my trade show walls and signage, my vendor asks for my layered .PSD in CMYK rather than a PDF so conversion is still required in those cases.
