This clinic, entitled "RGB is not a colour space", will teach participants fundamentals of colour management for screen-based and digitally intermediated print workflows. Participants will cover fundamental colour management theory, differences between types of calibration hardware and their applications, demonstrate the process of calibrating and characterizing a display, setup of colour management within Adobe Photoshop, and outputting files for both print and web display.
Accurate colour management is important for consistency between displays and soft-proofing photos before they are printed, reducing surprises and expensive re-prints.
Andrew Hunter has worked in the motion picture industry for the last ten years as a camera assistant for broadcast television and has extensive experience with colour management for cinema, stills and print.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops or external displays. For as much as time will allow, participants can have a calibration matrix created, allowing them to calibrate and characterize their own displays with the G44 colorimeter.
