Hi everybody,
First of all, please excuse me for my poor english... and my poor
knowledges in color management.
I spent hours on the net to find information about what workflow to use.
I found tons of pages about profiles, working spaces, color management
(!) and so on, but none explain clearly what to do !
So my question is simple (the answer may be not... depending on the aim
of the image I think) : Once I've got my image (coming out of a digital
camera or a scanner), what should I do ? What are the "good practice"
(this is a french to english translation, it may not be correct...) or
"good habit" to acquire ? and what about ColorSync here ?
I noticed this (please tell me if I'm wrong or completely wrong ;-) :
A* If my image destiny is to be printed by a professional laboratory,
1- I take my image (without any profile embeded)
2- I embed my camera/scanner profile (if I have this profile) or I embed
the Adobe RGB 98 profile (in this case, can we talk about "profile" ?)
3- I convert this new file into my working space (it may be Adobe
RGB... or my screen profile ?) (it's beginning confuse !)
4- I work on my image (with PhotoShop for exemple)
5- the end.
B* If I want to print my image on my inkjet printer,
1 to 4 : same
5- I told Photoshop what kind of printer I have (via its profile) so
this is the end too at point 5.
C* I calibrated my screen with ColorSync. So now, I have a profile for
it. And what ?
I don't see what my screen profile is doing in this story ? May be
ColorSync is using it ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
