Session 5 - Practical Color Management with Photoshop

It is estimated that nearly every image you see in print has been at some time in its life through an Adobe application. The Adobe Photoshop and other Creative Suite applications provide a powerful way to implement color management.

In this session we describe Photoshop’s color management framework and show the attendee how to set up and use color management including the concept of the working space, embedding profiles, and the difference between assigning and converting profiles. This session demonstrates the implementation of a color managed workflow and shows how you can have a full RGB workflow yet provide full preview of the expected CMYK results. This session is applicable to prepress users, to those wishing to understand the importance of an RGB workflow, and to those wishing to see visually, the power of practical color management.
