Definition
Phenomenon whereby 2 different color samples produce the same color sensation Basis for all color management because it lets you produce all colors without specific colors or inks for all colors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Science of predicting color matches based on growing research in human color vision Core of color Management because it allows us to define color unambiguously as seen by humans |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Device used for computing colorimetry based on measurements of the surface, It measures color in the same manner as our eye's cones |
|
|
Term
| Ultimate goal of Color Management |
|
Definition
| Not to get a colorimetric match, but to acheive a pleasing image |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The range of tonal values a device can print The brightest white, darkest black and most saturated colors based on the density of its colorants |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The range of colors an output device can reproduce without resulting in banding or posterization Whitest white, blackest blacks, most saturated color |
|
|
Term
| Printers from the same manufacturer with the same model number produce_______ results |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Difference between gamut and color space |
|
Definition
| Gamut simply represents the limits (brightest white, darkest black, and msot saturated colors) of which the device is capable whereas colorspace goes beyond what teh device can do and includes all the tonal information that goes on inside the gamut- how much ink paper can hold.. |
|
|
Term
| Stimulus and Response and how color profiles are made |
|
Definition
| Ensures our monitors see color profiles accurately |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
How our computers deal with out of gamut colors Absolute (NEVER USE) Relative Perceptual Saturation |
|
|
Term
| Why do we need color profiles |
|
Definition
| Allow us to reproduce the same colors, takes the guesswork out of color management, and ensure colors are the same monitor to monitor |
|

Definition
| Travel with an image device to device, done at the saving point |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Temporary, once you end your work session that profile is lost |

Compare Adobe RGB with a Monitor profile
|
|
Definition
Adobe RGB is larger, output profile, it contains information on all 4 rendering intents, is a table profile Whereas the monitor profile is matrix based |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Printer profile, sends and receives info from PCS to CMS |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Actually changing the behavior of a device Correcting phosphors So the profile it describes remains accurate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
describes the way a device behaves Takes a snapshot of the device at that time Is the relationship bw RGB / CMYK color values and the colors they represent |

Definition
| Measuring the color results and feeding them into your profiling software program |
|
|
Term
| 3 variable to know and control when calibrating and profilng |
|
Definition
Software: auto-exposure/ auto-color Hardware: Brightness/ contrast Media/consumables: ink / paper |
|
|
Term
| Avoid using color settings within the printer software like Vivid or PhotoRealistic |
|
Definition
| Just saturation boosts, not accurate to your actual color |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Measure out color patches from our output devices in order to create a profile |
|
|
Term
| Why is it important to make a custom profile for each paper when you could find the paper manufacturer's ICC profile? |
|
Definition
Different equipment will produce different results, More specific to your printer |
|
|
Term
| Why do you turn off color management settings if you are using PS to control all the print settings |
|
Definition
| So as not to double convert your image, may cancel each other out or result in a profile mismatch/ overlap |
|
|
Term
| When matching a print to an image on a monitor... |
|
Definition
| Match the Color Brightness, not Color temperature |
|
|
Term
| Digital camera profiles are hard to handle because: |
|
Definition
They are prone to metamerism Don't have a fixed lightsource No target reference to measure it against |
|
|
Term
| It is important to make an initial proof print bc: |
|
Definition
| Gives you a baseline starting point to reference |
|
|
Term
| Information to include when naming files |
|
Definition
| Rendering intent, Color profile, Version, Paper/substrate, printer, date |
|
|
Term
| Color Management workflows regarding color profiles, contain 2 variables |
|
Definition
When the conversions occur How color information is conveyed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Temporary, your monitor is using it's calibrated color profile to display the image, doesn't affect your actual profile/ image |
|
|
Term
| Assuming a profile with an untagged file or document |
|
Definition
| PS will automatically assign a profile to any untagged document,ensures consistency, but not so flexible |
|
|
Term
| Importance of sending clients hard copy proofs |
|
Definition
| Guarantees the same colors will be seen, different monitors, different equipment, different color |

| Apples attempt to instill color management throughout Mac OSX |
|
|
Term
| Where do color profiles reside on a Mac |
|
Definition
| Folder Directory:/library/colorsync/profiles |

Term
| Preview is an apple application for |
|
Definition
Previewing jpeg, tiff, and pdf images only previewing imges bc any saved changes will change your embedded color profiles over to an untagged file |
|
|
Term
| Color Settings in PS allow you to: |
|
Definition
Assign default working spaces each time you open a specific image Control how PS handles different color profiles that don't match the working space profile Preserve your embedded profiles while you edit them and save any changes with the same profile |
|
|
Term
| When PS Embedded Profile Mismatch warning opens you should |
|
Definition
| Use the embedded profile (instead of the working space) |
|
|
Term
| When you use the Assign profile you: |
|
Definition
assign the working space profile to a document, if the document was untagged it becomes a tagged file Assign any profile to an already tagged document, overwriting the previous profile |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Allows you to: Select your custom paper profile or any output profile installed on your computer Choose a Rendering Intent Control Image size and place the image exactly on your paper |
