hello.

i use an illustrator RGB background a lot, but when placing them to my file, CMYK file, it loses same data, change (becouse of effects and the RGB colors, clearly).

which way do i have to place it and still maintain it as it is (instead of bringing it to Photoshop and save it to an tiff/eps/psd file)?

    You could place and not embed it.

    But in the end when printing it, it has to be converted to CMYK.

    Not Copy/paste.

    File > Place. And then don't embed. But Link.
