I have created some vector drawings for the web or electronic viewing only. I now need to convert some of this stuff for print and when I convert from RGB to CMYK, the colours lose their vibrancy. and when I'm converting, I no longer have the picker to work with.
Can someone help? ... please and thanks.
Thanks.
what color profile are you using?
I don't know about the color picker, but as to vibrancy, note the difference between the RGB and CMYK color gamuts.
(That image turned out a bit bigger than I expected)
No need to convert them at all. Just print them as is. Trust me, they'll come out just fine.

Here's what happened (will try to keep it brief).
I created some cards, realized there was a mix of rgb/cmyk and changed some of them, but they didn't look the same. Some I left. When I brought to the printers, they put the resulting pdf file into an adobe product and the shadows went to h*ll in a handbasket and some of the colours really lost their vibrancy.
When I got home, I tweaked some of the colours and got the same results (was glad it wasn't my screen calibration).
Is there an easy way to send you the colour profile, without sending you a print screen.
Thanks for input.
PS ... interesting differences on the colour picker for RBG vs CMYK.

What do you mean by "picker"?
