11 Digital Color Management Help get the most out of your digital system from monitor to scanner to printer Calibration Bring a device to a optimal repeatable state Characterization A description of the color capabilities or limits of a device or process ICC Profile Standard format for a characterization devised the International Color Consortium

12 Digital Color Management ICC profiling on your system can bring you to a professional level of color management

13 Profile Connection Space (PCS) Lab The Color Translator

14 Lab L = Lightness a = Red / Green b =Yellow / Blue

15 Building Custom ICC Profiles Monitor Calibration & Characterization Brightness Gamma White Point / Color Temperature 5000 K 6500 K Colorimeter MonacoOPTIX XR

16 Color Temperature

17 Building Custom ICC Profiles Monitor Calibration & Characterization Brightness Gamma White Point / Color Temperature 5000 K 6500 K Colorimeter MonacoOPTIX XR

18 MonacoOPTIX XR Colorimeter For CRT and LCD color displays Incorporates multiple optical paths per channel provides optimum averaging of pixels per pitch Contains precision colorimetric filters Built to simulate human vision Produces accuracy within chromaticity error

19 Benefits Of Monitor Calibration Save time money and paper. Get great prints every time.

20 Monitor Profiling Demonstration

21 Building Custom Scanner Profiles Input Scanner - IT8 Target - Data File - Reflection & Transparency

22 Profiling Your Scanner A profiled scanner gives you color accuracy and repeatability with your images

23 Building Digital Camera Profiles Input GretagMacbeth ColorChecker and ColorChecker DC -Profiling camera and light source

24 Building Custom Output Profiles Get greater accuracy with any paper and ink combination from your hardware

25 Building Custom Output Profiles Output Printer, Paper, Ink, Toner, Photo Dyes, and Settings RGB CMYK Measurement Device Spectrophotometer MonacoPROOF -MonacoPROFILER Scanner - 3 -MonacoEZcolor

28 Printer and Scanner Profiling Demonstration

29 Using Profiles in PhotoShop Assigning Scanner Profiles Does not change the values. Tells Photoshop what the values mean.

30 Using Profiles in PhotoShop Converting to a Profile Values change Scanner RGB -> Lab -> Adobe RGB (1998)

31 Working Color Spaces Monitor / Phosphor Gamut ColorMatch RGB srgb (Standard RGB ) Larger / Film Gamut AdobeRGB (1998) BruceRGB EktaSpaceRGB Wide Gamut ProPhoto RGB Wide Gamut RGB

33 Converting to an Output Profile CMM - Color Management Module Software Engine that Performs Conversions

34 Converting to a Profile Rendering Intent Controls gamut compression from larger gamut to smaller gamut.

35 Rendering Intents Perceptual Out-of-Gamut colors brought into gamut In-Gamut Colors shifted in relation to out-of-gamut colors Overall appearance is perceptually similar Used for images

36 Rendering Intents Colorimetric Out-of-Gamut colors brought into gamut In-Gamut Colors maintain original appearance Relative -White is white -No Color Absolute -White is matched -With Color Used for spot colors and proofing

37 Rendering Intents Saturation Out-of-Gamut colors brought to gamut boundary In-Gamut Colors shifted toward gamut boundary Overall appearance is saturated and punchy Used for display or presentation graphics where color accuracy is not important

38 Using Profiles in PhotoShop Demonstration

39 The Bottom Line Investment in a color managed workflow SAVES TIME & MONEY
