You can’t get the same tones as RGB. You can get “close” to RGB, but you’re going to be trying to achieve something that is not possible, just because of simple math. To make it appear a little better and get better output, make sure you calibrate your monitor, and, make sure your images levels and contrast are correct – something I find helps the appearance. Also, try adjusting curves to remove color casts and to increase values where needed. If you want to learn a great deal more about color correction, read a book by Dan Margulis.

RGB is a larger color gamut than CMYK, so there’s going to be overlapping colors, but lots that you can’t replicate in CMYK. I recommend CMYK preview in Photoshop to preview your colors while in RGB mode. Color chart: https://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/KodakDCS760/Samples/Colourspace/ProPhotoRGB.jpg

Use the pen tool and make sure the far right icon is selected (exclude overlapping path areas). Draw out your circle. Then draw out the triangle. Then, in the paths palette, select the “Load path as a selection” button at the bottom of the palette. It will make a circular selection with the triangle cut out. You can then use that to mask off something in a layer. Is this what you were trying to do?

bring the image into illustrator and trace with the pen tool. then, stroke the path with your desired color and thickness and copy paste into photoshop. illustrator has better tools for doing this. on copy paste you may need to re-size the illustrator object.

if you are starting out with something that is DV (720×480), and trying to go to 36×24 (10800 x 7200), you’re blowing it up too large. Even if your original film was shot on Red at 4K (4096), you’re still way under in terms of amount of resolution in your original image. Yes, for print, CMYK.

Sometimes effects like that are best done without using an effect in photoshop, but rather, actual media. Scan (or photograph) actual newsprint or a texture up close – some sort of halftone you like, then add it to your design, by masking, multiply, etc., until you get the look you want.

Try save as and use a new name. Is it possible your original image came from a CD which would be a locked image?
