  • Color Management
    Color Management hotoshop 5.0 was justifiably praised as a ground- breaking upgrade when it was released in the summer of 1998, although the changes made to the color P management setup were less well received in some quarters. This was because the revised system was perceived to be complex and unnecessary. Bruce Fraser once said of the Photoshop 5.0 color management system ‘it’s push-button simple, as long as you know which of the 60 or so buttons to push!’ Attitudes have changed since then (as has the interface) and it is fair to say that most people working today in the pre-press industry are now using ICC color profile managed workflows. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the basic concepts of color management before looking at the color management interface in Photoshop and the various color management settings. 1 Color management Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Photographers: www.photoshopforphotographers.com The need for color management An advertising agency art buyer was once invited to address a meeting of photographers. The chair, Mike Laye, suggested we could ask him anything we wanted, except ‘Would you like to see my book?’ And if he had already seen your book, we couldn’t ask him why he hadn’t called it back in again. And if he had called it in again we were not allowed to ask why we didn’t get the job. And finally, if we did get the job we were absolutely forbidden to ask why the color in the printed ad looked nothing like the original photograph! That in a nutshell is a problem which has bugged many of us throughout our working lives, and it is one which will be familiar to anyone who has ever experienced the difficulty of matching colors on a computer display with the original or a printed output.
