My fellow Photoshop users:
I need to submit a piece of artwork for a book cover, with the following specs: TIFF file format, CMYK colorspace, 300 dpi.
The final finished work at 300 dpi CMYK looks fine, and so I saved it as a TIFF and it looks fine in Photoshop. But when I call it up using the native Windows Picture viewer , it’s much much darker and the color scheme is totally different (more golden and metallic versus red-orange) . Ditto if I call it up in MS Paint, although if I use Internet Explorer it looks the way it does in Photoshop: i.e, the way I want it.
If I change the colorspace to RGB, however, everything looks fine no matter which application I use to view it.
This leads me to ask the following three questions:
1) Will the TIFF-CMYK version print up it the way it looks in Photoshop or the way it looks in the other applications? Or in each the way it appears in them? (My printer is down for repairs, so I can’t do my own test.).
2) Is there a way I can save my artwork at the required specs and make it look the same no matter which application I use to view it?
3) What accounts for this difference in the first place?
Thankin advance for for any help or suggestions.
