![]() If you're looking to get information about generally improving your color and your workflow, it is worth time doing. Below this is a second film called Get Great Color in blurb books, and this is what I would call a general film. You can watch this, and it will remind you how to do this. But even if you're on a Mac or a PC, it doesn't matter. Now in a second, I'm gonna walk you through how you do that on the Mac. The 1st 1 is literally 45 seconds, and it's about installing the blurred profile. It's not super complicated, and I want to also bring your attention here on the right next to the I C C profile, you're going to see two short films. So when you hit the soft proof, you'll actually see how the images air changing and you can make adjustments to them before you go to print. What that allows you to do is actually soft proof your images in the software before you go to print. Those images, whether it was S RGB or adobe RGB, you can convert those images in the color to the blurb color profile, and you do that by downloading on this icy sea button right here. And as I scrolled down here, you'll see the downloadable, icy sea profile right here, and what the profile does is allow you to convert your images and photo shop from whatever color space you created. Write software these air what you're going to do to all of your images so you can find the Blur by Sisi Profile on the blurb website and it's under the Color Management Resource Center. These are things that you're going to do again long before you get to the book. And this is again a relatively simple process of a lot of times. The second part of the process is converting your images to the blur of I C. So think about you've got a calibrate your monitor first. And again, the odds of getting a good print are very, very low. You're not exactly sure what you're going to see. If you don't do it, it's like flying blind. This is basically the starting point for me when it comes to getting good color. There's a lot of companies who make devices, spiders, color spiders that will attach to your monitor and within literally a 5 to 10 minute process of this spider running, you're gonna have a calibrated monitor. So the first step is to calibr.Īte that monitor. So the odds of that printing exactly like what you want are very rare. If you're not calibrating your monitor, then you don't know exactly what you're looking at on your monitor. And I'm always amazed by that because I'll just put it this way. So a lot of times when I teach workshops around the world, I'll ask people in the audience who in here calibrates their monitor and surprisingly very few hands will actually creep up. If you want your books to print correctly, There's two things to primary things that I'm going to focus on today. ![]() It is not a super complex process, but it's something that you have to keep in mind. I think a lot of times people think color management is far more complicated than it actually is. Color management is one of those things that is mysterious to a lot of people. Okay, so let's talk about what you're going to do before you get to the software, and this is going to start with color management.
