subject: Why should you check an image's color profile during raster image editing? [print this page]
In raster image editing, sometimes color adjustments are necessary for screens, websites, or print media, making the color profile important. A profile clarifies how colors are to be displayed on various devices. The profile may be missing and/or improperly set when opening on a different system, which may cause colors to appear entirely different than expected, or to be over or under saturated. Visuals Clipping recommends using consistent color-managed workflow, and switching to the appropriate profile when needed. To avoid unexpected colour shifts in the exported image, it can be checked on the intended display or print workflow.
