Color Management Worksheet Your name:____________________________________

Images that have been captured with a digital camera, scanned or printed should ideally closely match our original scene, negative, slide, print, etc. The brightness, contrast and color of these captured images should be retained as they are viewed on a monitor, edited and finally output to a printer. Is this an automatic process? Can we simply open an image on the computer, press print and get an image that matches what we see on our monitor? Manufacturers might have you think it works this easily, unfortunately it does not, at least not yet.

In reality we must understand and manage color and color workflow to maintain accurate color throughout the digital process. The objective of this tutorial is to provide you with enough information, examples and testing so that you can apply the principles and procedures covered here to better manage color in your own work.
