The technologies that you use every day to create, edit and print are color management ready—How ready are you? Without an understanding of color and how your applications and hardware handle color, your workflow is going to be all work and no flow. X-Rite Color Services is offering a 20-city seminar tour to help creative directors, designers, photographers and production managers unleash the power of their color.

Get the applied knowledge you need to effectively implement digital color management. Learn how to optimize color for your entire workflow, including inputs, displays, editing, proofing and every kind of final output. Master best practices and color settings for the latest versions of popular applications, including Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Quark 7. Simplify color matching, so that your monitor shows what’s in the file and your printer matches your screen.
