This update to earlier Photoshop Colour Management
essays highlights the main changes that have occurred with the launch
of Photoshop CS2 (aka version 9). This version of the essay has been
prepared as a single page document, and uses new screenshots derived
from Windows XP Professional. So, given that it's a bit more graphic
laden than previous versions, it will take a few moments to download.

- Photoshop CS2 is now shipping and with it's arrival many users of
previous versions find themselves confused with the layout and options
of the Print with Preview dialog. Hopefully this tutorial will clear up
some off the confusion.

- This tutorial pulls together a number tips and tricks that I've
provided to Bridge users on the Adobe User to User forums.
|
|
| |
- The original idea for this essay came about following a query
raised on the Adobe User to User forums way back in late April 2005.
Similar queries have been raised since as has been the answer. Anyway,
I decided that it was time to convert a quickly typed response into a
proper tutorial.

When Photoshop CS was first
introduced many experts sung the praise of the updated File Browser.
Unfortunately using it in the real world is somewhat less intuitive
than claimed. Furthermore, many users have found that the performance
of Photoshop can be greatly effected by the way the new File Browser
preferences have been configured. This tutorial should help explain
many of those areas causing greatest confusion.

Whilst Colour Management within Photoshop 7 has changed
little from Photoshop 6 there are still some issues that need detailed
explanation. This essay, entitled Photoshop 7 and Colour Management
updates the previous version written for Photoshop 6 and should prove
useful to both new and existing Photoshop users.

An essay specially written to help new users through
Photoshop 6's Colour Management setup options. The essay is not
platform specific so even though it mainly uses Mac OS screenshots it
should also be very helpful to Windows users. This essay is quite long,
but addresses many of the questions relating to monitor calibration,
print driver setup and what needs to be done with scanned images so
what you scanned is what you get in Photoshop.

The main purpose of this essay is to show how to use
Custom or Epson created ICC media/paper profiles with Photoshop.
It has all been written before, but in this essay my intent is to keep
it simple. I provide details on where the media profiles should be
stored, how to configure the Photoshop 6 print dialog and finally how
the Epson printer driver must be configured so that your final results
aren't a total mess. I've also included downloadable versions of
profiles for a range of Epson Photo series printers.

"LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast" is undoubtedly
one of the best scanner software applications available. As scanner
software goes it includes more features than any single user will
likely ever need. Nevertheless, and good as they may be, these features
tend to be complex and not always well explained in the accompanying
documentation. Hopefully this series of essays/tutorials will help
users better understand the various components that make up this very
powerful program.

When discussing the colour qualities of digital cameras
one question seems to arise on a fairly regular basis, it is: "which
white balance mode should I use?" Unfortunately, the answer isn't as
obvious as we might assume. Given that the question continues to arise
it is clear that many digital camera users are aware of the importance
of correct White Balance (WB), but many are unclear of how best
it may be achieved. This essay attempts to lift the mist that has
descended upon the topic.

An essay written to help those struggling with all the
various "set-up" options associated with Photoshop 5's Colour
Management System. Getting these correct is essential before
we can expect to use the program to anything like its full
potential. Includes references to Windows 2000 and Photoshop 5.5. This
essay is long, and it's complex, but it should help explain the various
issues surrounding a good Colour Managed workflow from scanner right
through to printer.
