I use Adobe Gamma to get my monitor as close to right as I can so when I use a skin pin to adjust color and it looks way off I back out and do the adjustments...
I had been using the Nic Sunshine filter. It adds a sunshiny glow. It looks great and I will still use it but sometimes I want straight color. I CM'd on a...

Many monitor adjustments are made using the video card controls. On my nVidia, I can control each RGB channel using a curves window, and also have the usual...
[re sunshine filter] The Sunshine filter does more than just a yellow cast. It seems to have more intellegence than that. I will check out the curve...
I have been tempted to play with ProPhoto to see what all the fuss is about, but logic and expense has ruled to date. I am a photographer by profession ...
I too am a photographer. I work for an arts publication so most of what I dealt with was CMYK. It was almost a year ago that I got an Epson 2200 and started...
For so long I was set up for CMYK work. Lately I have been trying for the best settings for RGB. I have been happy with using ProPhoto for printing to my Epson...
... Absolutely - ProPhoto would definitely cause problems. ... ProPhoto RGB is designed to be used in Photoshop, but can result in dull colors. Adobe RGB has...
So...since I do stuff for the Web, for presses, and for Epson printers the first thing I need to do when I bring up a program is to check the color space...
As Mike said, most certainly. Go ahead and use ProPhoto for your image adjustments if you like. On the PC I would convert to Adobe RGB for printing, or at...
I feel like I am so close to having a handle on this stuff! But it is treacherous! Why don't they just ask our intent, web, web press uncoated, Velvet paper in...

you are certainly one of the most rapid learners and experimenters I've encountered. This is rapid? Seems that I have been trying to understand this for a very...

You shouldn't have to convert to anything for printing. That is what color management is about. If you work from a color profiled monitor and you attach an ICC...
While I am not an expert, I fully agree with Clyde's message. The $250 I spent to buy a calibration package has more than paid for itself in saving paper and...
This is a point I try to make, and not always successfully. By making what used to be darkroom work easier, more power has, potentially, been returned to the...
I have been informed that a PDF is coming my way. The person who made it put some or all of the images in Index color. I will have to remove them from the PDF,...
... Index (or indexed) color is an image that contains a color table with a fixed set of colors. It usually means you will be dealing with a GIF or BMP image...
Re-reading Mike Davis's thoughtful response to Gene's initial post, I think there are some interesting issues that I'd like to respond to. From: "Mike Davis"...
Hmmm....mineral pins. Dangerous, Mike. But I think I'm the one who suggested a library of "known" pins. I didn't realize how short sighted that was until I...
From: "Mike Davis" <mldavis2@...> ... I'm not ready to write off pin collections just yet, but they are definitely still experimental. ... A gorgeous...
On a broader front are subjective pins that support approximate colors such as skin tones, wood, cloth, sky, and the like. These are colors that vary ...
From my personal perspective, I like pins for experimenting with overall color balance. Yes, you can pin whites, blacks and grays if you have them in the...
I've been thinking about what pins would work that I would almost always have with me. (I still like the Legos and still plan to test those more. Legos or...
