Essential Colour Management Seminar

Tuesday 17 May 2011

This seminar covers the essential colour management strategies needed for an efficient, productive and colour accurate photographic workflow. The myths and fairy tales surrounding monitor calibration and soft proofing are debunked and replaced with simple, logical and effective workflow solutions. Real world case studies include proofing for clients, incorrect screen brightness settings, inappropriate profile conversions, chromatic adaptation errors in working and viewing environments, and other typically misunderstood sources of colour inaccuracy. Topics include:

• How is colour represented in a digital workflow?
• What is the relationship between an image and its colour space(s)?
• What are out-of-gamut colours and what happens to them?
• How do I choose the most appropriate working colour space?
• Are there critical differences between assigning and converting profiles?
• What is soft proofing and why is it so important, and so difficult?

• How do I (and why should I) properly calibrate and profile my monitor?
• How bright should my monitor be?
• Which white point, black point and gamma curve should I use?
• How do I know (and test) if my monitor profile is accurate?
• How often should I recalibrate/reprofile my monitor?
• Is my working and viewing environment colour correct?
