I need to make images in CMYK for printing
#2
Quote:When I convert images from RGB to CMYK the results are not acceptable, the colors are changed too much. How can this be prevented?

The short answer is: you can't It is about the different colour gamut (the complete range or scope of something).

What you see in the real world is different to what you see on a RGB monitor & Gimp, and is different again to what will be printed using CMYK.

   

In particular, blue, green and all bright vibrant colors cannot be printed. If you need a design that is only going to be printed then do not use Gimp. Start and finish in CMYK mode and for freeware there is Krita.
