The basics of color and color management

This is a really excellent video. It’s so good that I’ve shared with friends outside the print industry. I’ll try it on my kids next!

Very useful information. Thank you. 🙂

Wondering how to save CS6 files that use mesh in CYMK. Adobe seems to be reverting to RGB, even files that once worked in CYMK (I've had this Illustrator mesh image printed several times) Once I've opened the file it seems to revert to RGB as default? Maybe I had a trick I used, that I've forgotten?

good job male, thanks!

i self taught myself photoshop cs6... i wish i knew about tNice tutorials when i was in the self teacNice tutorialng mood

It's so simple yet so complicated, it's perfect lmao

Do you have a video showing how to edit softs????

I'm too busy reading these comnts and not paying attention again.....and I'm Nice tutorialgh

Why is colour management not automatic?
This is crap.
Good video on the fundamentals. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much!

Wow, this is the clearest explanation ever! Thank you so ooo much! I never knew the role of LAB until now.

Is it a bad sign if I did not see color for even a sec in the example with the castle?

Win 11. Lightroom editing. Spyderx Pro calibrator. High quality monitor. What specs could I add here in these comments that would enable you to advise me on why my print has a magenta cast with blues rendering as pink.

Brilliant clear explanation. Thank you

very good explanation. thank
you

This is very useful. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately sir, it is quite ironic that your skin tone has too much red considering that your video is providing tips about colour management. I assumed it was my laptop screen not being calibrated properly, but it seems the issue persists on both my phone and oled tv too. I guess i can rest easy now, knowing there is nothing wrong with all my screens.

I see your other videos don't seem to have this issue, but i can understand that this is an older video so it's not necessary to re-grade it. Thanks and godspeed!

its very helpful...thank u❤️

Very interesting ! I do see the circle with the same color hovever (the red and the purple ones)

Wow! 👍🏻

. Thanks for the great explanation. I have a question related to G7. What is G7 and why is grey is considered to be an important colours in G7 and why not other neutral colours like black or white? I’m very new to the printing industry and colour consistency is very important for me. Can you please explain in very simple terms and also a detailed information regarding G7? Thanks.

Best explanation I've ever seen.

Useful indeed. You explain what so many so-called professionals are not able to (or willing to) explain. Still, further questions:

1. Why is an ICC profile (which I understand is some kind of "colour dictionary") embedded in a file? Wouldn't it be reasonable to have this ICC dictionary ONLY in the colour engine, which then translates incoming signals to LAB and outgoing signals from LAB to whatever colour model a device asks for?

2. Why does the colour engine translate RGB to LAB from cameras, if it then translates LAB back to RGB for monitors? Isn't this useless? Wouldn't it be enough to translate ONLY if the outgoing colour model differs from the incoming colour model?

Any knowledgeable answers are highly appreciated!

Very accurate and clear video ! Thank you very much !!

Love the fade to black but is that real black or just my mind used to lighter expectations? Subscribed. Great stuff

Just a nit picky wonderance but is that color spectrum at the beginning upside down? Looks like shorter wavelengths at the top

This is very useful in the summary of for understanding color management 💯

great !

brilliant presentation!

Thank you !

Excellent tutorial. Thanks a lot. You should create a full course in color theory, or perhaps composition.

Amazing Tutorials. What is the best ICC monitor ICC Profiles for Photoshop?Should i choose wide gamut/sRGB or Adobe for Color correction /work in Photoshop

nice video indeed! May i ask why we need calibration tho? Thanks in advance

Most tutorials tell you WHAT to do. It's really helpful to have an explanation of WHY...

excellent tutorial Sir

well done . It's high time I begin learning this process of color management.

Visible light spectrum is upside down.

Your LAB diagram is better than typical spherical model used by most others Of course you have only touch on the tip of the iceberg concerning Colour Management and look forward to seeing what you got next. Have been playing around with this since late 90’s using Colorblind and other calibration tools like Densitometer and Colour Spectrometer

Awesome video. Thank you =) !!!

thank you so much! Yes indeed it is useful Mr Boudewijn Krijger. Godbless you...

Excellent best helpfull video. Take care always

Thanks a lot my friend.

Thanks very much. I grasped that very well. And I am even keen to take the next step! I loved your examples of how the brain can be deceived by colours in everyday situations.

Thanks! This will help my students learning online now during Covid-19!

I am totally messed up with color management since i got a camera with full frame (nikon d610). I started doubting myself when arranging the colors, saving the photo and open it with my smartphone. My saturation is way off. Still i don't know where the fault is. I try to get there. I also don't trust my eyes anymore. My workflow with photos degreased by that frustration. I bought an camara profile for adobe camera raw that matches my camera. First it did work out well, yesterday i again had color management problems. It's hard to get family members to understand the frustration, often they don't see the colour difference.

what if I don't have a brain? what should I do?
