Color Management is the process by which the colors of image outputs are adjusted so that they all look the same. For example it is the process by which the colors of a print are made to look the same as those of a monitor. Due to the nature of the various outputs, the colors are rarely the same but can be adjusted closely enough to satisfy the photographer. As a wildlife photographer, I achieve this just by calibrating my monitor and using print profiles from the manufacturers whose papers I print on. I know an artist who complains that the difference in colors between my monitor and prints is so far apart as to be different images. To satisfy the "close enough" requirements of different users a variety of tools are available that can allow for more precision in color management. (The idea of "close enough" is mine, not the author's.)All of that is by way of explaining why "Color Management & Quality Output" may provide more information than many photographers want or need.After describing the nature of color in photographs, the book explains how to calibrate a monitor, and then how to profile scanners and digital cameras (although, with exceptions, the author is not a strong proponent of camera profiling). There is a brief review of how to adjust color in both Photoshop and Lightroom and then the author turns to output profiles with an emphasis on creating custom profiles, although he acknowledges a place for generic profiles. Ashe then explains how to further adjust profiles to make them even more accurate as well as use other color utilities. He visits raster image processors (RIPs) and explains their usefulness for some photographers.
