Implementing colour management ensures that your colour maintains its integrity from capture through to print. By implementing ICC profiling at the printing stage of the process, coupled with calibration and profiling of your monitor you can ensure that your colour is carried with total accuracy. Fotospeed can provide generic and bespoke profiling service.
Tips and Processes
We all know that traditional photography is just as much an art, a passion, a creative discipline, as a practical demonstration of the chemistry. We also know that sometimes a little magic is needed to create that unique image. Occasionally that magic is a technique discovered by accident, sometimes through persistent trial but always in the alchemist's office known to us all as the darkroom.
