That's all you have to do. The reason for CMYK is you are doing a color separation for the press where it will be printed. When a color image runs on a press there are 4 separate aluminum plates each with a color. And be sure to save your image in TIF BTW John, I really enjoyed your images on the FOM2 sl > apropo images for Alastair? Is it just a matter of directly comverting in > Photoshop.
