Oh no, I had to re-upload the video due to a color issue. I just learned about HDR! I’m really sorry to those who watched the previous version with a darker screen and to those who left comments on it 🙏
I watched that video right after when it was uploaded . I even downloaded the video !
Now you can do a new video about the new thing you learned!
I had watched the first one, but I didn’t find anything wrong with it.
We have had a lot of the same experiences, haha! There's a lot to know with the whole printing process - and things change over time too, as the digital world speeds on ahead! This is great info, Chika! Very useful!
Great Video Chikako, We look forward to seeing more! keep up the good work!
Woooow this is happy surprise! Thank you so much for helping me making art prints! Those are all beautifully done! I will come back with new projects again✨☺️
I never knew anything about the difference between RGB and CYMK...Cyan,Yellow,Magenta....Kangaroo? :D What is K? Apparently it stands for Key or Black, we'll just say it's Kuro heehee. But thanks for the tip. I usually just take pictures of my art work and share with friends. I don't really print them, not myself at least. But about 14 years ago a couple of pages of my sketchbook was scanned by a print shop and made into cards to be sold at their store front. I didn't take any payment or royalty. It's a very small town, they can have whatever sales they made. But I am pretty sure they scanned it and saved into PDF, but I do notice that the prints were a little darker, so chances are, they were in RGB. Thanks to you, now I know :D
PDF is a container-format and just a simple-to-use format (benefit and downside is that they are notoriously hard to change later one), TIFF is a good and widely supported format (well - if some shop does not support TIFF then you most likely should avoid them - that is like going to a gas-station and they don't have petrol).
RGB vs CMYK - that is only a difference in internal representation. If you really need to last bit of available colour-space then CMYK is more often than not preferred, but if the channels are chosen large enough there is no difference. And at NO POINT EVER should it have an impact on the final print. If that is the case then there is something wrong with the print-settings.
if you design prints professionally you might want to look into printing reference-monitors. Yeah they are royally expensive but are certified to have the "correct" appearance. Otherwise at least get a well calibrated monitor and not a cheap normal consumer monitor cause they can have colour variations by as much as 10% - which really looks wrong for art.
When ever dealing with new clients or companies be sure to ask them a lot about what technologies and procedures they use, which formats and encodings they support. If they don't know what sRGB, SwopV2, YCocg or ICC means then you should take the time and figure out what they really want to do and what they expect. Chances are everything they say is somewhat wrong.
"This can not be that important" i hear you say?

This is a single image but shown according to different color-profiles. still the exact same RGB value, just the profile. So if somebody is not able to tell you those details then you have to test it out with them.
