How to convert CMYK to RGB with Color Archiver How to convert CMYK to RGB with Color Archiver

Both RGB and CMYK are color models that are well-known by graphic designers. The main difference between these two schemes is the fact that RGB uses Red, Green and Blue tones to create a color and it is commonly used when displaying images on a screen (monitor, LCD, TV, camera etc.), while CMYK adds Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black) in order to created the desired color when printing images on paper. Therefore, having a way to quickly switch between these two color schemes can prove to be very useful, especially if you design computer graphics.
