Hi. So I've opened up Photoshop, and I'm going to convert the color mode from RGB. So I'll go up to image mode. And I just changed this is from RGB, which is for digital to see why KCMYK is the digital. This is telling us the profile we're using gonna say, okay, it's changing it to a print color language rather than a digital color language. And that's all there is to it.

Now we have a semi k file. You can see here, I'm going to resave it. I'm leaving it in the same place, I'm going to actually save it as the highest quality file because we're going to print we want it to look really good. We don't care. I don't care how big it is. It's quite large.

So it's well. I'm going to turn it down because I have to upload it for you. So I'm going to leave it at high. Yeah, that's more acceptable. Okay, and we're going to save it again. So now we have to go back into our InDesign file.

We have to re import the photo, or relink it I should say. So we're going to select the box it's in, go to links. See now it says it's flagged in it, it's saying that it's been modified so that it's telling us that the wrong image is in here. Even though we didn't move it. It's no longer the right image. So I'm going to read link this to the image that they gave us.

The image that InDesign put into the folder here at the links image, that's the one I just revised. You can check the date to be sure to check the time. That's the one I just Did I open? Oh, I think I opened the wrong one. Okay, sorry about that. We're gonna have to go to the original image.

This is the one I worked on because it's bigger. Okay. So we're going to relate that one, say open. Then we have to resave. Our file. You can see now it's not flagged.

We're linked. We're seeing why. Okay, so we're going to repackage it. And this happens quite often it has to be done a couple times to get it right. So now we have no more flags, everything. Nothing's wrong.

Everything seems to be fine. Zero use RGB. So we're going to package it again. We're going to leave everything else the same. We're going to go to the same place. We're going to save it as press quality PDF and package Replace doesn't want to save it have to give it another name.

Let's call it two. Okay. And you can see everything been updated. Now we can delete our old folder, and we're ready to go to print. So that's the PDF, we would go to a magazine, we would send them everything. Unless they're only asking for the PDF, you can grab this and send this to the vendor and keep all the rest of the files for you for yourself.

Now we're also I want to output show you how to output for digital. Let's say you just want to upload this ad to our website. We'll go File, Export, we're going to export a PDF and you see it, it gives you different versions of PDF. I'm going to say print, put it in a different folder. Add a folder that says digital in that folder. We're going to save it there.

I left it on print, but I knew this would open so this gives us all the options and we're going to go to smallest file size and see how small that gets And if that would be appropriate. It brings all the images to down 200 dpi. That probably will work. Let's export it and see. So you hit export, and InDesign will put the file the new PDF in that folder. So let's check it out.

There we are, it's 183 kilobytes, which is pretty good. Let's open it and look at the PDF. I'm sure it's not too bitmapped and it looks good. I think it's fine. That's a low res version of your PDF for digital use. Hi, I noticed I had an error here or I would say a hole in my type and wanted to go back and fix it.

So I'm going to remove that return that soft return. We put it Here to break up the coffee. Bring that line up. Then we'll have to resave and export the file again both for the print PDF as well as the digital PDF. And that's it. That's all there is to it.

So you have an ad. You're ready to go. You can print it or upload it to a website. If you have any questions, please contact me. Please leave messages, show me your projects. If you want to do your own your own ad you need help.

If you have questions about that, let me know I'm happy to help you and answer any questions you might have. And good luck and I hope you can continue to Learn more about InDesign. It's actually a really great program. Thank you
