Using Profiles in PhotoShop Assigning Scanner Profiles • Does not change the values. • Tells Photoshop what the values mean. monaco by

Using Profiles in PhotoShop Converting to a Profile • Values change • Scanner RGB -> Lab -> Adobe RGB (1998) monaco by

Working Color Spaces Monitor / Phosphor Gamut • ColorMatch RGB • sRGB (Standard RGB ) Larger / Film Gamut • AdobeRGB (1998) • BruceRGB • EktaSpaceRGB Wide Gamut • ProPhoto RGB • Wide Gamut RGB monaco by

Working Color Spaces Monitor / Phosphor Gamut • ColorMatch RGB • sRGB (Standard RGB ) Larger / Film Gamut • AdobeRGB (1998) • BruceRGB • EktaSpaceRGB Wide Gamut • ProPhoto RGB • Wide Gamut RGB monaco by

Converting to an Output Profile CMM - Color Management Module • Software Engine that Performs Conversions monaco by

Converting to a Profile Rendering Intent • Controls gamut compression from larger gamut to smaller gamut. monaco by

Rendering Intents Perceptual • Out-of-Gamut colors brought into gamut • In-Gamut Colors shifted in relation to out-of-gamut colors • Overall appearance is perceptually similar • Used for images monaco by

Rendering Intents Colorimetric • Out-of-Gamut colors brought into gamut • In-Gamut Colors maintain original appearance • Relative -White is white -No Color • Absolute -White is matched -With Color • Used for spot colors and proofing monaco by

Rendering Intents Saturation • Out-of-Gamut colors brought to gamut boundary • In-Gamut Colors shifted toward gamut boundary • Overall appearance is saturated and punchy • Used for display or presentation graphics where color accuracy is not important monaco by
