Procreate<\/strong> comes pre-loaded with standard RGB and CMYK color profiles. You can choose these when creating a custom canvas. For screen artwork, we offer six RGB profiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You asked, how do I enable CMYK<\/strong> in procreate? Choose your CMYK<\/strong> or RGB color mode in Procreate before you start a design. You cannot change it later. Navigate to the new canvas button and the color profile button. Choose CMYK<\/strong> if you plan to print your work and RGB if your design will be displayed digitally.<\/p>\n People ask also, can you draw in CMYK in procreate? Edit (12 Dec 2019) : Procreate 5 was just released earlier this week \u2013 we now have the ability to use<\/strong> CMYK color straight in the app without using Affinity Designer. You can find this option under the ‘Color profile’ settings when you create a new canvas.<\/p>\n Amazingly, how do I change RGB to CMYK<\/strong>? To create a new CMYK<\/strong> document in Photoshop, go to File > New. In the New Document window, simply switch the color mode to CMYK (Photoshop defaults to RGB). If you’re wanting to convert an image from RGB to CMYK, then simply open the image in Photoshop. Then, navigate to Image > Mode > CMYK.<\/p>\n Frequent question, how do I convert RGB to CMYK? <\/p>\n Procreate<\/strong> allows you to create digital calligraphy, but sometimes you want a printed copy of your piece. Whether it’s for your portfolio or to give as a gift, it is possible to transfer your on-screen artwork into a physical piece.<\/p>\n Since Canva is an online design tool, the designs are created in RGB color mode, but printing software uses CMYK color mode. You can easily convert your designs to CMYK by using an online CMYK conversion tool before submitting them to us.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not for professional-quality print graphics, and therefore does not support non-RGB color spaces such as CMYK.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Understanding RGB and CMYK RGB’s additive colour process means it produces colours and brightness that CMYK just can’t reproduce. So if you’ve chosen a colour that isn’t in the range CMYK can print, unfortunately, this means it will come out much duller than what you see on screen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Canva by default creates files in RGB as it was initially designed to create digital only images for your RGB screen, yet all of our printing is done in CMYK.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Navigate to File, choose Document Color Mode and then select CMYK. Open the hidden tab and then click on CMYK. Adjust the color using the color slides or simply double click the Fill color option. Select your your desired color and then click OK to confirm.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n RGB colours may look good on screen but they will need converting to CMYK for printing. This applies to any colours used in the artwork and to the imported images and files. If you are supplying artwork as a high resolution, press ready PDF then this conversion can be done when creating the PDF.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If one of your goals is to make and sell art prints then CMYK GRACol 2006 should be your choice. Working in this profile will ensure your art will look much closer to the final result of your prints. This is because most printers use a combination of cyan, yellow, magenta, and black inks rather than RGB to print.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To export high resolution images from Procreate, make sure your canvas size is large and set to 300 DPI. Once you’re finished with your art, export it as a PNG file for the highest resolution image. If printing your work, make sure not to stray too far from your Procreate canvas size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The underlying reason why Procreate drawings end up blurry or pixelated is because Procreate is a raster-based program. In other words, Procreate uses pixels or tiny little squares to create lines and designs. Images will lose quality when scaled, and you will always see pixels at some point when zooming in.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Procreate comes pre-loaded with standard RGB and CMYK color profiles.
