| This is an ever-evolving glossary of photography related terms. They range from terms involved at the front end of, as Chris Ogden would say, "making" (not "taking") fine art photos, all the way through to Printing Fine Art Photos (ie, ways of bringing the photographer's artistic vision to life via a tangible print). Whether the photography type is stunning landscapes, intriquing abstracts, edgy man vs. nature, or more traditional corporate, commercial, and portraiture - there's something here for most everyone. We've tried to include content to appeal to other photographers (regardless of if you're shooting with a camera phone, a consumer point and click, a pro 35mm DSLR such as Canon 1dS Mark II, digital medium format, etc.) or collectors of Fine Art! |
| Color Managed Workflow | A color managed workflow consists of matching the colors from when they seen and captured by the photographer through to their genesis in the printed form via their final medium (eg, paper, canvas, etc.). Color management can be very difficult because the various devices in each step of the process display color in different ways (ie, reflected light vs. generated light) and with different abilities (ie, the amount and types of colors the human eye can resolve are different from that of a given brand of camera, scanner, monitor, printer, paper, ink, framing system, and even viewing light!
There are many (expensive) tools to help achieve consistency of color throughout the steps. Many books have been written on the subject. There are career professionals who do nothing other than color management and consulting. There are professionals who teach color management (such as Chris Ogden). |
