Lin Evans Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 There are two or more ways to handle this depending on how many images you need to convert. If you have a modern computer which will run Photoshop CS6, you could download and install a trial version of Photoshop from Adobe which is good for 30 days. Use it to convert these from CMYK to RGB.You could zip all the images and upload them to a file sharing service or to your own website if you have one. Provide a link to the zipped file and I can convert them for you and provide you with a link to download the converted files.You could purchase an inexpensive tool to convert - just Google CMYK to RGB Converter.You can use a free online CMYK to RGB converter.Here's a $19.95 Total Image Converter - I haven't tried it myself but it probably is fine:http://www.coolutils.com/Convert-CMYK-RGBBest regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ifranview the FREE editing software will convert your images if that is what the problem is. Try it on one image, if successful you can batch convert the rest in one hit. & it's FREE :rolleyes: Yachtsman1.Still on location in Kent, raining today. http://www.irfanview.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Erik,We are dealing with colorspace - not a file format conversion. AFAIK neither IrfanView nor Fastone nor Gimp have a CMYK to RGB converter...Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom95521 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 You could convert your image(s) online. I would probably not upload personal information but for flowers etc. it should work.http://www.cmyk2rgb.com/Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Evans Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Erik,What will he convert it to? If it's already a jpg, what good will it do to use IrfanView to convert. How will he convert it with IrvanView? If you simply convert one of your own jpgs to CMYK and load it into PTE you will realize that it's not an "assumption." The images look exactly as a CMYK colorspace image does in PTE. Perhaps you could then try to use IrfanView to correct the colorspace and report back on your success? Did anyone recommend "spending?" I didn't. I said there are free web conversions and that if the OP zipped and uploaded them with a link I would convert them for him.

theoverberg Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks to all you good folk - I have looked at all your replies and advice - this is a subject I am totally unfamiliar with and some of the things that are mentioned I need to educate myself on. I have been able to resolve the problem this way - a friend of mine, Keith Murray has converted them for me, using Photoshop - http://goo.gl/LzLjIy - apparently it has something to do with the colour RGB when it should be sRGB, he would be able to explain better. It seems that RGB doesn't convert easily into Pictures2Exe ... it's all a bit beyond me, I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMYK will produce exactly that effect in PTE. RGB color spaces will affect intensity of colors primarily, and they will look different in PTE than in your browsers. CMYK will produce this: Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapcam Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi allI come to this a little late but I am interested in passing the info to my group.Lin is right (I know don't need to tell him that ) but I have saw mention of Elements being used and I don't think it has the facility to convert CMYK. At least mine doesn't.I have an old PS7 version which does have the facility and I was able to simulate the problem.Just waned to mention the PS Elements point.Snapcam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
