Color management Implementation in Digital Photography

Digital cameras on the market today have a great potential to become the powerful tool for capturing images for use in all demands fields (such as artwork digitalization), so many professionals started using digital technology. But, it is often the case, that is necessary to spend a lot of time for visual editing and making color corrections in various software applications. In this research, some ICC color management techniques were used and tested to investigate the quicker ways to achieve digital images with improved color reproduction accuracy, without visual editing. A testing procedure for characterizing digital camera is described. This procedure is target based, thus providing objective measurement of quality. The special color reference target for digital camera characterization was developed, applied and tested . The results show that using proposed methodology, the workflow efficiency and color accuracy can be improved.
