How would I go about checking the gamut of my kits? I use PSE 11, and you don't seem to be able to change the colours from RGB to CMYK, which some Photoshop users have said they do. Is there a workaround with Elements? I don't know anyone with the full Photoshop, so can't ask anyone to check for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I know that you CANNOT use PSE to check gamut, I use Photoshop CC, so I am NOT that familiar with PSE anymore.. I know there were some topics here, maybe they will help.
Most designers that I have talked to have a friend with Photoshop check for them.

Thanks for posting the links, Nicole! I'll have to spend some time going through them As I said, I don't know anyone with Photoshop myself
Robyn, I'm struggling with this gamut issue, too. I have PSE12 and it doesn't check for gamut (nor does my old PSP8). It was suggested to me in our little FB group that I go ahead and use Photoshop CC as Nicole mentioned. I haven't made the jump yet, but I can use PS CC on both my Mac and PC here at work for around $10/month if I decide to. It's really sucky that I may have to do that just to check for gamut, although I know that PS is quite a few step ups from PSE. Last year when I joined here, I ended up buying two PSE's for both computers. Guess if I do stay with PS CC, I could try to sell the one for the PC. The one on my Mac was an instant download.
I'm going to do the 30-day trial of PS CC and see if it will be worth it. If I am able to get it for $10/month, I just wonder how long it will be before Adobe goes up.

I posted on the Coffee Shop blog facebook page, asking Rita if it would be possible for her to write an action for PSE users to check gamut - and she's already replied, saying that it was a great idea, and that she would do one within the next couple of weeks!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!
I'll keep checking her blog, and let you know as soon as I see it there!!
Have you seen this? It might be worth investing in for PSE.. I don't know much about it, again, I don't use PSE anymore LOL. Just throwing it out there in case.

Robyn, that is awesome!! I sure hope she does.
Nicole, all I saw on the Elements+ was "soft proofing", which is what Pixelmator does (if you saw my post in the FB group to Ania) and I don't think it's the same as checking for gamut. Or, if it is, why don't they just say that?!?! lol
