How to convert RGB to CMYK

In this tutorial I'll teach you how to convert RGB to CMYK, you're images that is ;)
For those that don't have a clue what RGB and CMYK are: They're are what we call colour spaces. What that means is that ex. in an RGB (Red Green Blue) image all the colours are made of a mix of red, green and blue. The reason it's important to convert to CMYK is that most printers print in this colour space, and to get the best result, and to see what we'll get out of the printer we have to do the conversion like I show you in the video.

Great, is there a trick where you can simulate these colors that are out of the gamut?

[Ozzurfer]

sadly no because it's not the actual colours that are the problem it's the printers ability to "make" these colours. So you'll just get a slight desaturation in those areas, but that's why we do it manually (to try and keep the colour as good as possible)
