    I do all my retouching in RGB or LAB. I conver to CMYK via Image Mode in PS. There's a slight shift in color which is normal but nothing really important. In PS my color settings are as follows:
    RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)
    CMYK: US Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Gray: Dot gain: 20%
    Spot: Dot gain: 20%

    Conversions options:
    Engine: Adobe ACE
    Intent: Relative Colormetric

    Of course, this is only part of the deal. Your monitor should be calibrated regularly. Make sure your brightness and contrast settings are not messed with once the monitor is calibrated. And find a printer who also calibrates his machines.
