Oh I don't flatten the original image, don'y worry. And I'm not sure if I already asked this but, can PSD files be transferred to computers that don't have photoshop? Will they be able to do anything with them or would they just appear as a flattened image? Or even a blank?

The fact that I wasn't sure was one reason I needed to save it in a file that would maintain different layers, so a blank background would come through as well, and I was under the impression that I could only trust TIFF files to do that.

If there's a plus side, colour proofing between CMYK and RGB didn't show any obvious changes. So there's that. The guy I'd sent it to seemed indecisive himself on what kind of printing method it'd be. The problem is that, with this little set of projects I'm doing, doing little imagery for folks around town, a lot of them put a lot of faith in me, so if it helps I suppose I'll go with your suggestion and send JPGs, PDFs and PSDs (would TIFFs have no value?). I guess that way, they in turn can send all three to their printers to decide which one would be best? I was also under the assumption that JPGs were not recommended for this sort of thing, considering how much they downscale the file.

Thank you for your answer, I just want to clarify a few things. I'm still very new to a lot of this terminology. Are you saying that if I wanted to print something for, say, a T-Shirt, I should always process the PSD through InDesign? (I also don't know what you mean about selecting the output). One problem for me though is that the project I'm currently working on is being sent off to someone else, who in turn will send it elsewhere again to get printed, so I have little clue what kind of setup would be preferable for the printers. Is there a generally safe option for this kind of circumstance?

Alright, so if I exhaust all other methods, I'll see what this Adobe password option is all about. Thank you!

Sorry for the confusing answer before. I did keep the original Photoshop PSD files, and whenever I boot them up again the colours do look normal. I was moved to use TIFF because it was adaptable, and could be read by computers that didn't have Photoshop built in.

I'm on Windows 10 and the picture program is the custom "Photos", but I also tried looking at it in "Windows Photo Viewer" and that came out the same. I was under the impression that TIFF was necessary as PSD wasn't as easily transferable, but I'll give that a look. Also, what do you mean by "raw" images?

I've noticed other forums discussing with terminology like gamuts, but I'm fairly new to photoshop so please explain to me like you're explaining to a child, if you can. I made a picture (I coloured it in CMYK because I only ever intended to use this project for print) and then saved some JPEG versions as tests, before saving the final product as a TIFF file. When observing them on the desktop however, whereas the JPEG files seemed largely unchanged the TIFF files seem somewhat greyed. Even the black tones, which I assumed would go unaffected. I haven't got a proper printer available at the moment to test out if the final product will look normal in print, so in the meantime does anyone know if this is something I could fix?
