In this practical and humorous session, we’ll take down some color myths and show you how to truly balance RGB and CMYK (and—gasp!—maybe even Lab) assets. We’ll also explore how you can maximize your colors while using a single document for both print and digital output.
Topics include:

- When are RGB and CMYK important—or dangerous—to use?
- Setting expectations: Why optimists and pessimists can both be wrong!
