Throughout the workshop, these and other topics will be covered: an overview of color management, including suggested color management hardware and software; how to produce, install and use custom printer profiles; tips for selecting inkjet printers and papers, and specific printer and paper suggestions; demonstration of a step-by-step printing workflow using Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 (Mac OSX will be used, but Windows-specific information will also be discussed for those who use Windows XP or Windows Vista); specific Photoshop tips and actions to help optimize print quality; and how to make darkroom-quality black and white prints from color or black and white original files.
