What is Profiling?

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.

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 X-Rite. 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.
