Say No to Color Casts: Color Management Workflow & Key Points for Photo Editing

Thomas Chu Photo

Accurate color display is the foundation of post-processing. Otherwise, a masterpiece you spent hours editing can look awful once printed or viewed on another monitor.

Students often ask me questions like these:

1. I spent a fortune on a wide-gamut professional editing monitor — why does every photo look oversaturated, even worse than on a regular display?

2. Why does the same photo look different on my phone and my computer? Which one should I trust?

3. Why does a photo I finished in Photoshop shift colors the moment I open it in a browser or the system viewer?

All of these problems come down to color management.

Today, Thomas will walk you through the essential color management workflow and its key points — in plain, accessible terms!
