DIGITAL PROJECTION CUSTOM COLOR PROFILE
Photography Committee
SEATTLE BRANCH
To maximize the quality of your photos being digitally displayed
at the Mountaineers Potlucks we have put together a custom color profile which can be
download to your system. You then convert the images edited on your system to be color
matched to the Mountaineers Photo Committee projection system. However, it is important
that your monitor be properly calibrated. Of the many places on the web that discuss
monitor calibration, I have found Dry Creek Photo and Computer-Darkroom to be two of
the best:
www.drycreekphoto.com
www.computer-darkroom.com
Use of the download profile assumes you are using Photoshop version 6 or above. If you
use an image-editing program other than Photoshop, make sure it supports “converting image
files”. The basic flow is, however, approximately the same.
After downloading the profile, you need to save it in a location that
depends on what operating system you are using. The profile files work equally well on
Windows or Mac computers.
These locations are found on your c/: drive and are:
In Photoshop (or other photo editing program), edit your image
until you are happy and save the file. Do all your editing in a standard color
space such as Adobe RGB or sRGB.
Finally, convert the image to the “Tahoma Room” profile.
Photoshop users use the following path:
(Image→Mode→Convert to Profile). This changes
the data in the file to compensate for how the digital projector was
calibrated.
Save the file as a tiff, or a jpeg as described in DIGITAL PROJECTION GUIDELINES.
