- Yeah it's a pain. Basically there are some colours that you can print
- (mainly cyans and light greens) but you can't get the exact same colour
- in rgb space (because rgb is just fooling our eyes into thinking it's
- seeing a particular wavelength of light).
-
- Photoshop 3.0 has the best colour space conversion I've seen (much
- better than Corel) but it's still not perfect but at least the pantone
- colours look about right on the screen.
