Color Management Introduction and Basics - Session 3 on CD: Scanner, Camera and Monitor Profiling
In this session we look at making a profile for your scanner, camera and monitor. We look at the process of making and applying a scanner profile and the effect this has on images.
For scanners we also look at specialized targets such as the HutchColor target. For digital cameras we look at the GretagMacbeth DC targets. We talk about sRGB profiles for monitors and the correct setting of the monitor gamma, and brightness and contrast. We look at setting up your monitor for soft proofing (using your monitor for color correction and color approval) and practical problems such as using monitor profiles on Windows PCs.
Figure: Before and after profiling – an image without a profile looks flat (left), a profiled image has more saturated colors, and better neutrals and flesh tones (right).
