Excellent information thank you for communicating clearly and effectively I learned details I needed to improve the way we serve our clients better and now educate them on getting the best possible color output on the DTF prints they buy from us
Excellent presentation! ICC now makes much more sense. Thank you! Adobe may be retaining the sRGB space as the default because in many applications, backward compatibility requires that the original format remains as the default setting, even as it becomes the "lowest common denominator" over time. For example, a high-resolution hardware graphics card will often support older standards, ie: SVGA, EVGA, VGA and possibly all the way back to the MDA display standard, for which the system can auto-detect the highest resolution (based on monitor capabilities, available video RAM, etc.). However, as you noted,
hi. Thanks for the video. In photoshop, is there any contraindication from assigning an icc profile, and editing, and exporting with the profile attached? The goal is to have edited images saved, and having the file viewable within preview on mac. So I can open imageprint red, and drop the color corrected file in, and print it. --->. people seem to suggest this is a bad idea, and Im uncertain why
Generally you're assigning a "working space" in Photoshop. Once you do that, you are editing the image in that color space. And then you save your image with that profile embedded. That way, anyone can open your image and know exactly what color space you were working in. When printing the file, your'e generally converting from your working space to the color space of the printing device. Now, if you are the one doing the printing, or you have a copy of your printers ICC profile, you can use that profile to "soft-proof" the preview of the image, so you can see on your display what it will look like when it get converted. Or, save a copy of your image (leaving the original in, preferably, the RGB working space) and convert the copy to the printing device color space.
Given that the bytes will get converted by an icc profile for display on my monitor or printing, what does it mean for photoshop to offer me a "working space?" Isn't that the lab space? Or do I want to "work" in the gamut of the ultimate output device, even though I can only see it through a monitor transform?
most CRT displays are now relegated to museums and yard sales, so Adobe can at least arbitrarily change the default space to one that is more popular, and/or contemporary, such as Image P3.
This is a very good explanation of how ICC Profiles work. The best I have found. Than you
We're glad to have helped!
Wow this is the first time I have a presentation to provide a understanding of color profiling. Just superb.
Colour management demystified! Thanks for sharing, this is great content on the subject. Looking forward to seeing more on this channel.
Ive been looking for this info on you tube for ages. You are a great teacher thank you so much.
I loved this video. It prompted me to pay more attention to my profiles and purchase the equipment needed to calibrate my monitors and printers!

Thanks Dan just got a chance to view this, good stuff!
You're welcome, my friend.
Should have way more views/comments. Well done, thank you.
Very usefull information, Thank you very much
Thanks for sharing your great expertise in color management. Good balance theory and practice.

Really helpful and informative video, just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Can you please post the video of scanner profiling with IT8 reflective target

Where can I find the Roman9-AdobeRGB.jpg file?

A godsend
I guess this is an excellent presentation but after hearing "you know" a few hundred times, I gave up.
