Color management – the complete workflow

The goal of the color management workflow is to have an unadulterated view of the image file at any point in the digital/graphic workflow. This colour management workflow can span the range from the creation of a camera profile when the image is captured – always including monitor calibration – to the profiling of the printer. The softproofing view can be used to simulate the influence of the selected paper and printer on the monitor. We have already captured all aspects of the colour management workflow on film in recent years. We summarise this trove of knowledge here once again.
