Luis - CMYK is used in printing (para imprimir - noticias y otros cosas), RGB is used on computer monitors.
CMYK stands for colors - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key, which is black. RGB is Red, Green and Blue.
If you use Adobe Photoshop, you can easily switch between RGB and CMYK - if you look closely, you will notice the colors change slightly.
If you plan on using the images on something that you are printing (for advertising), then you should use CMYK - otherwise, use RGB.

CMYK stands for Cayan, Magneta, Yellow and Black (K is black) CMYK is used mostly for printing, while RGB Red, Green and Blue is mostly used to display on Screens. You could convert between the two anytime by opening the image menu then clicking Mode.

cmyk is cyan/magenta/yellow/black. its just a better format for printing because most printers have those 4 colors to work with. if you are just using the image on screen tho, do RGB.

It stands for cyan, megenta, yello, ( I cant remember what K stands for, but it is a color as well ). When you save a file in this format it saves it in these primary colors. The colors can be broken apart to make extra layers easier, but it also makes the file much larger... so its a trade off of size for function.
