Photoshop CS5: Setup and Color Management
- In this video tutorial we will cover setting up camera raw and photoshop so our color spaces and profiles match. This set-up process is incredible important for proper color management, so please check it out!! This is geared towards beginners, but if you have color management issues, you may want to check this out as well.

Thanks. This came in very handy.

Comments and suggestions always appreciated

Couple points on your video which I think will help you and others.
16-bit files do NOT have more colors (wider gamut) than 14-bit or 8-bit files. The bit depth doesn’t not define the amount of colors, it describes the number of tones. FWIW, Photoshop actually treats all high bit files (10-12-14bit as 15-bits of data.) Our 5DMII is not a true 16-bit capture device.

You show RGB in Bridge, fine, but that raw file has no actual color space and the color space you set on your camera is only used to create the JPEG IF you ask for a JPEG. IOW, the camera and that raw file do not have to and actually do not match as you say in your video and you don’t have to attempt to set the ACR workflow options “to match“. Saying that you should set ACR for Adobe RGB because that’s what you set your camera at is not necessary and in I’d argue not useful since the two are not at all related. Even if you shoot raw+JPEG, the two are totally different (one is built in-camera, the other by ACR). You also throw away a great deal of potential color gamut by using Adobe RGB (1998) when a raw file can easily exceed this gamut. Find a very saturated image in Bridge, open in ACR using default settings in Adobe RGB (1998) and examine the Histogram for saturation clipping (colors not black or white on either side or edge of the Histogram*). Toggle the workflow options from Adobe RGB (1998) to ProPhoto RGB, they are gone. That illustrates that the raw file had the rendering potential to exceed Adobe RGB (1998) but the colors did not clip in ProPhoto. Other illustrations are explained here: http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/phscs2ip_colspace.pdf


*Clipping Indicators in the ACR Histogram:
Black and white = tone clipping (all three channels)
Colors = saturation clipping based on current encoding color space selected:

Red=Red
Green=Green
Blue=Blue
Yellow=Red+Green
Magenta=Red+Blue
Cyan=Green+Blue

Thank you for the info! I will certainly redo and or add that info to the tutorials asap. Prolly have to redo them.

Photoshop CS5: Resizing and Saving
Ever wonder what the proper way is to save files for the web or for print? Color profiles have you wondering what the heck do I choose? Curious about image interpolation?

This tutorial should help clear up a lot of questions you might have, and more importantly let you know what you NEED to know for resizing images properly in Photoshop CS5.

basflt

there is an easier and better way
its called ; BD Sizer

you can ;
[batch] resize , to pixel-size and or size in bites
sharpen (recommended for downsizing)
crop
add frames
add watermark
keep EXIF

edit;
just found out
it can transfer to Smugmug and Flickr too


and best of all , its freeware
latest version ; http://www.idimager.com/downloads/freeware

Very basic stuff here. Seems to be aimed at users who are opening up PS for the second or third time ever. Your directions are clear and it's easy to follow along with the process but when I was learning the ABC's I wanted to understand the reasoning behind the steps in order to make better informed decisions when I ran across semi related issues later on. I wanted to know what the term 'color profile' meant and how adobe and prophoto and sRGB differed from each other. I wasn't satisfied to click on sRGB because a tutorial said to. Same thing with interpolation methods. And resolution. And image size/resolution relationships. I think that if you tell a beginner to click the 'bicubic sharper' box it's a perfect time to explain what the bicubic sharper algorithm does and how the other interpolation alternatives work as well. Unfortunately, there's none of this in your tutorial. I never learned much of anything that stuck from the tutorials that simply asked me to 'click in this box, then go to this page and type 30 into this box, then click in this box, then click in this box, then unclick this box.........'.

Jason Hermann

Thanks for your comments and teaching suggestions;)

My goal with this beginner tutorial was to keep it short and to the point. How the algorithm actually works is not really that important to the user, just which 1 to use when is what they need to know. I agree it's nice to know all that extra stuff, but I'm trying to stay away from the over technical jargon. Most my viewers seem to prefer that based on the views, feedback, ect....

HDR - Import to Print Using Photomatix Pro, Photoshop, and the Nik Filters
In this 9 part tutorial we will discuss my workflow from import to print! 1st we go through Adobe Lightroom 3.0
and import some raw files. Then we optimize the raw files for Photomatix Pro and proceed to Tonemap. After that we head to Photoshop
and utilize the Nik Filters such as: ColorEfex Pro , Pre-Sharpener Pro , Dfine , and Viveza 2 . Killer plugins to say the least and we will use all of them! After that we fine tune the image and get it prepared for print. The Printing portion of this tutorial is still in production

Subscribed!

As a recent upgrade to CS5 from PSE8, I have a basic understanding of what things are, but I'm learning all kinds of new stuff. Something very basic, but otherwise not addressed is what bins and toolboxes to have open based on the frequency of use for ease of workflow. I realize this is a very personal choice for most editors, but there must be some "you should always have's" and some "perhaps this or that".

Another thing I'd like to learn is how to make a frame, or even a specialized frame for a print size of 16 x 24, or 24 x 36, with smaller, square frames (maybe 4 x 4) placed inside of it.

Thanks for the comments and I'll see what I can do about those requests. Be sure to do some google searches for what your looking for. Youtube also has a ton of free photoshop tutorials
