Colour Management in Adobe and Corel Products
Related Stories: Terry Relph-Knight
Aside from any OS supported colour management such as the ICM in Microsoft Windows XP or WCS in Vista, at the heart of any user controlled colour management system is some form of image editing software. Most frequently, for Microsoft Windows users this will be Adobe Photoshop (now at version CS4). A good and rather cheaper alternative is available from Corel. Linux users have the strangely named GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which does now include some colour management functions.
This article takes an in-depth look at colour management in both Adobe and Corel products. Without relating these colour settings to colour management principles, it can be difficult to understand what they do and the choice, number and combination of user settings can be totally bewildering. Comparing the approaches of two competing image editing products is also very helpful in understanding how colour management works in practice.
