Course Details
Introducing Colour Management into your digital workflow is the key to making improvements in the quality, accuracy and reliability of the colour work you receive and deliver to your customers. A properly implemented Colour Management policy allows you to control colour at every stage of your digital workflow from digital camera or scanner, through to accurate colour on your monitor and predictable colour on both proofing printers and printing presses.
This course is designed to introduce digital photographers to Colour Management including a full understanding of how colour is generated in the digital workflow. There is a particular focus on camera profiling and the appropriate handling of RAW images. The course will also show you how to calibrate and control all your equipment to produce accurate and predictable colour. Advice on the various ranges of equipment and software required for Colour Management are also covered.
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.
