ABSTRACT

The preceding chapter considered the issues of color management and how tomaintain color consistency between digital devices. This section though willdeal with the end process of converting digital files into a form of tangible print output and this can be broken down into several categories: proof prints, or composites which are intended to emulate the final printed output and are used for checking color and gaining client approval; high-end continuous tone, final art outputs such as Fuji Pictrographs, fine art Iris or transparency; and repro printing. This chapter is titled File Management because we will also be looking at how one can go about organizing and archiving an ever growing collection of digital image files.
