Working in a profiled and color calibrated digital system is by far the most important and most misunderstood area in digital imaging. Imagine being able to work on an image in the studio and delivering it to a lab that knows exactly what you expect. Using color management guarantees (when used properly) this very thing. The following is a step by step guide on how to use profiles correctly whether you scan, print and manipulate images in your own studio, or you do only part of the process yourself. The following guide makes the following assumptions: You are using Adobe Photoshop or another color management compatible software that works in a similar manner as Photoshop. You have a correctly calibrated and profiled monitor. You are printing to an Inkjet, Lightjet or another printer that allows color adjustments to be turned off, set to zero, or simply does not use it. Other devices, such as your scanner, are profiled. Without a profiled monitor it is impossible to determine during image manipulation if you are going to achieve the desired results. There are several ways to calibrate your monitor. The best way is to use a spectrophotometer such as those made by Color Vision, Monaco Systems or GretagMacbeth. Prices vary greatly between these products so choose carefully as some create better profiles than others. Another cheaper and far less precise way is to use Adobe Gamma (included with Adobe Photoshop) to visually calibrate your monitor (not recommended). Lastly, another option is to have a professional company do the calibration for you   Setting up your monitor Setting up adobe photoshop assigning a scanner profile converting from scanner profile to adobe rgb (1998) converting from adobe RGB (working space) to a printer profile printing tips and suggestions
