I have a reflex blue logo I have exported out of Illustrator 9 as an RGB jpeg file. When I open the logo in photoshop, the RGB values for the reflex blue come up correctly. But when I check the color in CMYK, then the values for the reflex blue are all off. Any tips? Thanks.
 
RGB has a wider color range (or gamut) than CMYK, so when you convert, Photoshop has to move colors around a little to fit. Best thing to do is keep a master copy of all your artwork in the color mode that suits it best, then make copies that can be converted as the need arises.
