How to convert an image to CMYK TIFF File
Hi,some printing press requires that images be supplied in CMYK Tiff file. They also give a help file( conv_2_cmyk_v7.pdf )to do this in photoshop which I don't have. Is there any other program that can do this ? I tried photofiltre which converts to Tiff but in RGB color.
Here is an example for picture in emf format(Picture1.emf ) and I coverted to Tiff (Picture1.tif )in photofiltre.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

In Save as dialogue, choose TIFF format, then click Options button, a sub-dialogue opens. There you can choose CMYK in the photometric dropdown menu. You can also choose compression, for which, according to the document you posted, LZW seems the best option (making file size about 1/8). I took a picture from your doc and convert it to CMYK TIFF (TIFF file).

Wow! thats great. I did not expect a simple viewer like faststone will do it so easily while big names like photofiltre, gimp, paintdotnet all can't! Thanks for the info.
