Printing CMYK color separations

PaintShop Pro converts images for color printing by replacing the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) colors you see on the monitor with the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) colors used in printing. You can then print a separate page for each CMYK color, which is useful if your work will be handled by a prepress service provider or a high-quality printer.

Printing CMYK color separations differs from splitting color channels. When you split color channels, PaintShop Pro treats white as having full color and black as having no color. When you print CMYK separations, PaintShop Pro treats black as having full color and white as having no color.
