RGB is color mode which is suitable for screen, CMYK for printing with process colors. In most cases to print image you will first work with it in RGB color mode because you are watching your work on screen then you will need to convert to CMYK. RGB model is created from 3 main colors Red, Green and Blue, CMYK color mode is created from 3 opposite colors to Red, Green and Blue and they are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow plus Black color Ink. You can manage colors in RGB mode by increasing or decreasing participation of Cyan, Magenta or Yellow which are opposite colors on color wheel. In Curves dialog you can increase participation of Red color for example but also decrease by increasing participation of Cyan (pull curve in opposite side).
RGB has a larger gamut than CMYK. In order from small to large: sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProPhoto RGB. The largest of the CMYK gamut is GRACoL.
The underlying color model in Photoshop is neither RGB nor CMYK but LAB. It has the widest gamut, which means it can hold more color values than any other model. Of the two other models, RGB has more color values than CMYK does. When you convert from RGB to CMYK, the program first "maps" the RGB values into the LAB colorspace. It then maps the LAB values into the CMYK colorspace. Now, for REAL entertainment...take a pure RGB blue, or a pure RGB green, and attempt to map it into CMYK colorspace. It doesn't work at all. Red maps fine, but the other two go straight to hell.
Rgb images can be printed by the newer digital copy machines, but you may be surprised with the outcome. If you are offset printing the images must be in cmyk mode to print correctly.
K is used to represent Black in CMYK because B is already used for Blue in RGB.
If you're printing the image on your desktop printer, use RGB--those printers will convert anything else to RGB, then to CMYK. If you're printing it on a wide-format inkjet printer like a Roland, Mutoh or VUtek, or you're sending it to a printing plant to be printed on an offset or flexo press, use CMYK if you're not using spot colors, and Pantone for the spot colors.

go buy RGB cartridges
RGB is color model and is suitable for screen. All colors in RGB are made from 3 primary colors Red, Green and Blue. There are also other color models like CMYK which is suitable for print. You can convert RGB to CMYK and vice versa in Photoshop.

ANSWER----Follow the instructions given blow to change RGB color to CMYK color in photo shop CS2 ---1) Open photo shop CS2 ---> 2) make a new document (or open the existing one) --->3) Go to Image ---> 4) Mode ---> 5) CMYK Color -------> Finishnow check your document, you will see your document color has been changed from RGB color to CMYK Color.... EndsSo enjoy with CMYK colorsHope it helpsCheers--------------------------------
NO, you can only work in Adobe 1998 RGB and sRGB which is suitable for Internet
The following examples demonstrate possibilities of colour systems: RGB and CMYK. RGB is an additive system of red, green and blue, whereas CMYK is a subtractive system from cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
If you're printing the image on your desktop printer, use RGB--those printers will convert anything else to RGB, then to CMYK. If you're printing it on a wide-format inkjet printer like a Roland, Mutoh or VUtek, or you're sending it to a printing plant to be printed on an offset or flexo press, use CMYK if you're not using spot colors, and Pantone for the spot colors.
ensure that you use the cmyk option from the start of your design, and that illustrator does not default to rgb. Try printing in rgb if the colors brighten up there is a good possibility you created the large format design in rgb. rgb for webstuff and cmky for printstuff from the very beginning!
