      INTRODUCTION

      In this Part, I will cover color management; some commonly used editing techniques in Photoshop and printing images. This is not intended to be a book about Photoshop; there are plenty of those available which describe every function in Photoshop. I have seen some that are 400 pages long. This book could be described as a shortcut guide and will cover techniques that will improve your images markedly without the need to know every function and wading through 400 pages of a technical manual.

      However before covering editing and printing, we need to discuss color management. Have you ever wondered why the vibrant images that you made with your camera look nothing like those that you shot or displayed on your PC screen? The main reason is the lack of color management in your system.

      COLOR MANAGEMENT

      Color management is the process whereby the color characteristics of the entire system for producing the final image is known and used in the color reproduction. The system may include your camera, the screen that you use to process your image and the output device, which may be a printer or a web page.

      BACK TO TOC

      WHY DO WE NEED COLOR MANAGEMENT?

      The purpose of Color management is to display and/or print colors correctly. If you have been into one of those electronics stores where there are televisions lined up mostly showing the same show. Often the color displayed on each one is different yet the source of the show is the same. Even the same brands and models may display slightly different colors. A number of factors have an impact on the way an image is being displayed on a screen such as the built-in components, its age and its temperature. We have already seen in the section on White Balance in Part 1 how the temperature of the light falling on your camera’s sensor affects the color of an image. Therefore the image that you shoot and the screen on which you are processing it may not be producing true color. However this issue is not restricted to your camera and screen. Printers involve differing factors
