Bespoke Colour Management & Digital Workflow

Course Details

This 1 day course is primarily aimed at Photographers who are new to digital or have been using digital and feel they need to cement their knowledge.

The subject of colour management and the digital workflow is vast and in 1 day we cannot expect you to come out with an intricate knowledge of all its aspects. What we can teach you is the most important aspects that relate to the everyday world of photographers to give you the confidence that what you see on the screen is a good representation of the image file, and how to know when it’s not.

As the teaching group is a maximum of six the day is flexible depending on the knowledge and specific needs of the group. There is always time to address individual problems within the context of the day. The objective of the day is for you to come out with the knowledge to examine your own hardware and software setup and how to correct any problems.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

This course is intended for image file creators, photographers, designers, production staff, and anyone for whom colour is an important part of their workflow.

You will need basic experience in using Photoshop. Ideally, you will have taken our Adobe Photoshop CC Introduction 2 Day course.
