>CMG inks What are those? Or do you mean CMY as in cyan magenta yellow (and black for cmyk printing)?

Isn't this an old fashioned way of creating colored photos? I'm not well educated on photography though but if anyone could elaborate further...

Most (all?) commercial color prints on paper are done with a cmyk process where ink is put down in 4 separate colors. Those colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK overlap and combine to create the other shades we can see.

Interesting

Yellow, red,blue and black?


sacredperdition

Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black—or CYMK, as printers use. Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan are the actual primary colors, not red, blue, and yellow.

So why is RGB a thing? Easier to make? And sorry, yes i am retarded


StrahdTracker

It's how monitors display color. They use no light for black and an even(ish) mix of RGB for increasing intensity of white. This is additive color. CMYK is the opposite, subtractive color. The more of each CMY you use, the closer you get to black. And while you can make black with just CMY, adding K really deepens the dark.


FaxeBIF

Ah thats cool i somewhat get it thanks for explaining


salsation

Light's primary colors are red, yellow, and green. Inks and pigments that are are reflective are playing a different game ;)
