Image file types
Should I use CMYK, RGB or grayscale images? Depending on which type of binding you choose
for your book, there are different ways to optimize your document for print. For all black and white books (except comic
size), the source document and images should be in grayscale mode.
For full color books, the source document and/or images should be in the original colorspace. If it was created in RGB, DO NOT convert to CMYK and vice versa.
If your full color book contains black and white images, set each black and white image to grayscale.
