Intro to Color Management Intro to Color Management presents photographers with a practical understanding
(v.s. color science theory) of the steps in the digital imaging "pipeline" to
make color management work for you in your digital workflow. It is targeted
to photographers who are new to color management, or need to improve
their understanding of color management in the photographic workflow.
The main focus is color management with Photoshop and Epson desktop printers
like the R2400, although the principles can be applied to printing with
Adobe Lightroom or other Adobe applications.
