Color ManagementIn the non digital world, color management is primarily done via the film selection and the processing of the film. In general, this is not under control of the photographer or artist. In the digital world it is different, the photographer is responsible for managing the colors. Color management is accomplished with something called an ICC profile. These profiles are applied through Adobe Photoshop and other graphic design software packages. Your software must be capable of accepting an ICC profile for this software to work. To create an ICC profile, the process goes like this... The software produces a color target which you print on your uncalibrated inkjet printer. You then take this multi-colored target and measure the colors produced by your printer. The software knows what the true colors are supposed to be. A comparison is made between what your printer printed and what it was supposed to print, in terms of colors. After the colors are measured, the software knows how to compensate the colors you print so that they will match the true colors. This is the ICC Profile. (It is not quite this simple, but this is the general idea.)
Spyder3 Studio SR - is
the instrument needed to measure colors and make ICC profiles. This is the best of the low
end (in terms of cost) instruments for making profiles. It lets you make quick and easy custom ICC printer profiles.
You will get real-world colors you can rely on.
