Any method such as masking, dot-etching, re-etching, and/or electronic scanning used to correct for color errors in process inks.
Any digital adjustments to photographic images to match original artwork. Also used to correct poor saturation and gamut.
Adjustment made to the raw scan or photo that shifts the colors to best represent the true colors of the image.
Any digital or traditional method such as imaging, masking, dot etching or retouching used to improve color rendition
The process of adjusting the color in a scanned image so that it more closely matches the original image, or to compensate for flaws (such as overexposure, underexposure, or color casts) in the original image. Color correction is a normal part of the pre-press process; almost all scanned images go through some level of color correction.
A process by which the coloring in a television image is altered or corrected electronically. Care must be taken to insure that the modified video does not exceed the limits of subsequent processing or transmission systems.
Technically, any method of correcting color photographs, color prints or color plates.
The adjustment of color values in an image to remove unwanted effectes, improve color characteristics, or add color qualities.
Modifying the color balance of an image, usually to produce a more accurate representation of the colors in an image. Color correction compensates for the deficiencies of process color inks, inaccuracies in a scan or color separation, or an undesired color balance in the original image.
The adjustment of color in an image to match original artwork or a photograph. Color correction is usually done in CMYK Color mode in preparation for process printing.
Color on the web may seem simple enough, but it's actually quite technical and involves several considerations. First, the use of a "web-safe pallette" is necessary to accomodate the many browsers on the market today. Also, converting a graphic file from its creation software format to a web-viewable graphic can cause colors to become corrupted. Thirdly, "optimization", the delicate balancing act of graphic file size vs. clarity ensures both quality images and acceptable download times.
Changes made to correct the rendition of a color.
A method of adjusting the color image data for a particular type of device so that the reproduction results are as close as possible to the original colors.
The process of simulating the colors or original shade by using color-management software. Often, an inkjet printer serves as the CMYK output device. This process is important because spot colors cannot be acceptably reproduced with the CMYK color model without making adjustments.
The process, in four-color separations, of adjusting the color values to achieve a more pleasing or accurate image.
Adjusting an image to improve overall color.
Adjustment of the color values in an image in order to compensate for variations in the color output of various display devices--for example, between two monitors made by different manufacturers, or between a monitor and a color printer.
The process of adjusting an image to compensate for scanner deficiencies or output device characteristics.
Using a computer to adjust, change or manipulate a color image, such as retouching, adjusting color balance, color saturation, contrast, etc.
The process of normalizing, changing or enhancing the colors in a digital image to achieve the effect, either of realism or of an artificial effect, which the artist or printmaker wishes to achieve from the final print.
In imaging, this refers to the process of matching the colors in a digital reproduction of an image to an analog original, such as a photograph. Adobe Photoshop is the standard application for color-correcting images. In film, this refers to adjusting the final print so that colors match from shot to shot, regardless of the film stock and camera used.
Any method, such as masking, dot-etching, re-etching and scanning, used to improve color rendition.
As used in this web site, is the removal of unwanted color casts by neutralizing blacks, grays and/or whites. Refer to the Levels Color Correction page or the Curves Color Correction page for color correction techniques.
A process in which the coloring in a video image is altered by electronic means.
The reduction of some of the colorant in an area to compensation for the hue error inherent in a set of colorants. Inks for process color are not pure colors; each is contaminated with the two other colors and has a hue error that requires compensation in the separate images.
Performed with image editing software or scanning software, ensuring scanned color fidelity with the original
A process in which the color elements in a video image are changed by electronic means. Color correction is almost always used in conjunction with high-end film-to-tape transfers.
A digital prepress term used to describe the process of manipulating a digital image to improve color rendition.
Filters which help balance the color rendition of a scene to match the color response of the eye.
The process of correcting or enhancing the color of an image.
a technical process involving the electronic manipulation of colors on transferred film or video. Color correction is done to enhance color or correct lighting or equipment problems resulting in off-colored images during shooting.
The changing of the colors of pixels in an image, including adjusting brightness, contrast, mid-level grays, hue and saturation, to achieve optimum printed results.
The adjustment of colors in any photographic, electronic, or manual process to obtain a correct image by compensating for the deficiencies of process inks, color separation, or undesired balance of the original image.
Color correction by using color gels, is a process used in stage lighting, photography, television, cinematography and other disciplines, the intention of which is to alter the overall quality of the light measured on a scale known as color temperature.
