Colour management comes into play at two primary points in the print production workflow: during file creation with authoring tools like the Adobe Creative applications (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), and then when the file is processed for output with a workflow software program<\/a> such as Kodak Prinergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>The terminology that is often employed is colour cast, to indicate a shift toward a particular colour.\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s examine the details in these most widely used software tools<\/a> to provide concrete examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary tool for colour management in the Adobe products is the Color Settings<\/a> dialog under the Edit menu. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, these settings can be shared across all of the Adobe applications to coordinate a consistent delivery of colour strategy. Define your settings in Photoshop, as this is the application<\/a> with the largest number of options, to guarantee that all possible options have been set to your choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch Photoshop and, from the Edit menu, choose Color Settings. There are three main sections to the dialog window: Working Spaces, Color Management Policies, and Conversion Options. Change the Settings option above the Working Spaces<\/a> panel to North American Prepress 2. This applies a set of defaults that are optimal for a print production workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessing the Effect of a Colour Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the profile is applied, what should we be looking for? Both on screen and when comparing hard-copy (printed) samples, there are specific areas of the image that should be checked. There is also industry-specific<\/a> language used in describing colour appearance that it is helpful to be familiar with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
