Why Convert TIFF to CMYK file?

Screens and printers handle color differently: TIFF images are usually stored in RGB, the color model made for displays, while professional printing uses CMYK, based on the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks a printer applies. Converting TIFF to CMYK prepares your image for print, translating its colors into the ink-based space so the printed result matches your expectations more closely.

This matters most when you are sending a high-quality image to a print shop or preparing artwork for flyers, packaging, or other physical products. RGB images can shift or look dull once printed, whereas a CMYK version gives the print process the color information it needs. For anything staying on screen, RGB is correct, but for professional printing, converting to CMYK is a key step toward accurate results.
