What is color management?

Color management is a process that lets you predict and control color reproduction, regardless of the

source or destination of the image. For example, a monitor displays a different set of colors than a

printer reproduces, so you may see colors on-screen that cannot be printed. If you want to reduce color

discrepancies, you can use color management to ensure a more accurate color representation when an

image is viewed, modified, or printed.

During the digital imaging process, different tools are used to capture, modify, and print images. In a

typical workflow, you capture an image by using a digital camera, upload the image to a computer, modify

the image in a photo-editing application, and print the image. Each of these tools has a different way of

interpreting color. In addition, each has its own range of available colors, called a color space, which is a

set of numbers that define how each color is represented. A color space is a subset of a color model (for

example, CMYK or RGB). In other words, each tool speaks a unique language when it comes to color. One

number in the color space of a digital camera may represent an entirely different color in the color space of

a monitor. As a result, when an image moves through the workflow, the colors get lost in the translation

and are not accurately reproduced. A color management system is designed to improve the communication

of color in the workflow.

This is an example of a typical digital imaging workflow.

A color management system, also known as a color engine, uses color profiles to translate the color values

from the source, which ensures a more accurate color reproduction at the destination. A color profile

contains the data that the color management system requires to translate colors. Many standard color

profiles are available. In addition, color profiles exist for different brands of monitors, scanners, digital

cameras, and printers.

Why do I need color management?

If your document requires accurate color representation, you should consider using color management. The

complexity of your workflow and the ultimate destination of the images are also important considerations.

If your documents are destined only for online viewing, color management may not be as important.

However, if you plan to open images in another application, such as Adobe Photoshop, or if you are

creating images for print or multiple types of output, the use of color management is essential.
