Hey guys, this is just going to be a short little bonus video, just to highlight the differences between working and seeing ik and RGB. With my system I've, in my career, actually, the majority, I've actually worked in CNY K, I've done I've done both. Look, more recently, I've been working primarily in RGB. But they both have their benefits and they both have their, you know, issues. So, I want to allow everyone who takes my course to be able to choose which one they prefer CMYK or RGB. So I just wanted to show you a few different differences through my setup on what it's like to work in CNY K. So Well, you'd be using the Learn to color action CMI k set and so the RGB one, and if you look through it, it's very similar.

But this one is geared towards CK. One of the things is, when you set up your file to flat, again, you can use the same flat prep action and does basically the same thing. Alright, so now it's, you know, set up to flat. But you'll notice here, instead of RGB, it's CNY K. And what that also means is, is that color profile that I talked about in an earlier video, you don't need to, you know, you don't need to do the proof colors, because you're actually working in CNY K, and Photoshop will be simulating what the colors look like in CNY k automatically. So you don't have to worry about that. So that's one.

That's the first main difference you just worked directly. Now the actual flattening and rendering process is going to be pretty much identical to how it was an RGB so I'm not going to go into that. The next big difference is once you have set up your file for doing special effects, which I'm going to show you here. And don't say Alright, so here is CNY k version of the page. And if you look over here in the layers, it's set up very similar, but you'll notice a few main differences. First of all the FX layer is different and holds layers, different holes layers instead of us just kind of paint the lines instead I have a mask here and then you just paint on the layer or color on on the layer.

And so if you select like the layer, you can see it selects this whole area but all you see is where it's covering up the blacks. So you're good to go and then on the FX one of the fun things and this is one of the things I find to be a con of working in CNY k All right, so I have the glow around the little light bulb thing on his chest, but you'll kind of notice and compared to what it was on the RGB one is the color is kind of dull. I mean, it's not bad, but it's just kind of dull. And it could be better. You know, I would prefer a deeper orange in the blacks. So, you know, RGB, you know, it's automatically kind of nice rich glows in the blacks, but seeing why Okay, you're gonna have to back it up a bit and I have an action.

I'll do that here. Keep in mind with this action, you can't have any additional layer so if you have any other additional layers in here, you're going to need to merge them so all you have is the background Beinart holds and effects layer. Then you can play this action Doom essay, there you go, now the color behind the black is a little bit richer and ready to go. And then you know, pretty much after that you still do you know, if you work on using the effects, you do that before anything else, or you do the effects layer and then finish effect. So at this point, you would hit the finish effects layer. So, everything else is basically the same as working in RGB.

I just wanted to outline those differences. I recommend, you know, if you really want to, you know, try you know, get your feet wet and try you know, coloring out I suggest doing like a one pass an RGB and one pass and seeing why okay and see which one you actually prefer. And that's that's pretty much all I had for this video. Again, thank you for you. Uh, you know, trying out these instructional course, I'm glad you gave it a shot. And, you know, I you know, had you managed to make it through my stuttering I, you know I sit in front of a computer coloring all day.

So speaking is not necessarily my strong point. But I wanted to be able to share my approach to Comic Con with you and that's what has been thank you very much
