I have called these courses \u2018Desktop Colour Management\u2019 as they can cover the use of colour management in the Adobe CS\/CC suite, QuarkXPress and Enfocus Pitstop.<\/p>\n
On refection, I think now may be the time to offer this course to agencies, graphic design companies, internal designers within corporates and print service providers, independent from a larger project.<\/p>\n
The use of correct colour management within these desktop softwares is a key area in maintaining colour accuracy in a graphic arts workflow. Using the wrong settings or making one wrong mouse click can alter colour in many ways that will adverse effect the finished result.<\/p>\n
The courses are aimed at professional users of these software\u2019s in the creative and production areas.<\/p>\n
The training is provided at the client\u2019s premises for up to 6 staff, hands on around a computer and screen. They can be Mac or Windows based (or both!).<\/p>\n
The full course takes around 6 hours, over 1 day.<\/p>\n
