Course description:

In connection with the 1st year - course „Working with a Computer and Digital Imaging“ - students will perform advanced adjustments to photos in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom (RAW files). Particular attention will be devoted to issues of color management. Students, alone, perform monitor, printer and scanner profiling and calibration. Acquired ICC profiles are applied in Adobe Photoshop and used in checking the preview and proof-sheet. With a view to the eventual collaboration with graphic pre-press studios or printers, students are introduced to the main essentials of PDF file creation with the related concepts.
