Color Management For Photographers
|
If you're a photographer, you probably consider yourself on the front lines of the whole array of issues that make up color management.
After all, you start with every color the human eye can see, you capture an image, and then you've got to shepherd that image all the way to its final destination--whatever that might be--keeping it as true to what you originally captured as possible.
Not an easy job.
And what we've found at Correct Color is that while there are a handful of photographers out there who are true color geeks and want to master every single phase of color management and tinker under the hood of their cameras and applications and printers like some old 50's hot-rodder souping up a Deuce Coupe; who scan the magazines for every new process and procedure and innovation, many more are just artists who don't care how it works; don't want to know how it works, and are in something of a constant state of frustration at trying to keep up and make it all work.
Regardless of into which camp you think you fall, the color management issues for photographers tend to fall into issues relating to: whether or when to profile a camera; whether to use camera RAW or an RGB color space in the camera; what RGB space to use if you use RGB; and how to get your images into and through your applications with as much fidelity to what you originally captured as possible.
Then on the process side, there's getting your monitor to display accurately what's going to print; getting all you can get out of the capability of your output devices if you output yourself; and finally, being able to send your images to a third party for reproduction and not have the final image a butchered representation of what you originally captured.
Well, here at Correct Color, we can fix that for you.
All of it.
Guaranteed.
