ABSTRACT

The secret to successful printing is to adopt a professional print workflow that takes the frustration out of seeing the colors shift as photographer’s image moves from camera to monitor and from monitor to print. Color consistency has never been more easy and affordable to implement for keen amateurs and professional photographers. The first step is to optimize the room where photographers monitor lives. Ideally, the monitor should be brighter than the daylight that lights the room and positioned so that it does not reflect any windows or lights. Photoshop Elements can work with the range of colors that can be displayed on a monitor but also those that can be printed using inks and dyes. To work with these additional colors, which are out of the range of most monitors, Adobe implemented the concept of using a ‘working space’ instead of a monitor space for editing digital images.
