Online: Color Management- Monitors, Profiles, Color Spaces, and More!

Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

What is Color Management? Why is it important to shoot RAW? Why (and How) do I need to calibrate my monitor? Why do images look different on different computers or devices?

If you want to know the answers to any of these questions, we implore you to join us for our Intro to Color Management class, where we will discuss the importance of all elements of color. We will discuss, among other points:

•A brief workflow of how to get the most accurate color, from camera to print
•The importance of monitor calibration, including a live demo using Xrite i1 (Datacolor’s Spyder software is very similar, and if you use it, the differences here are minor)
•The differences in color spaces and monitors
•How to use the Xrite Colorchecker (and similar reference targets)

Color management is an essential part of photography. Join us as we demystify the workflow!

Registering and what is needed

Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.

“You Are Being Recorded” (And Other Note Related Items)
We will be recording this class! The video will be available for download about 24-hours after the class for all attendees, so don’t worry about taking unending notes. We will send this link attendees to download and rewatch at any time. In addition to this, we will generally send out a PDF of the presentation (when applicable) and handouts on the topic. If handouts and PDFs are included, we will send it out with the link for the video.
