Rethinking Color With LAB
If you are seriously interested in maximizing your Photoshop skills you'll want to become familar with the LAB colorspace.
LAB Color Mode (LAB) is an approach used to correct images quickly: to achieve better color and contrast, ingredients to a better image. It’s color structure is unique in that can be exploited in a way unlike RGB and CMYK. Because the LAB colorspace separates the Luminance ("Brightness") of your image from the color components it makes it possible to quickly operate on just the color or just the tone of your images.
Our guest presenter Ted Moon, designer at the American Society of Clinical Pathology, will introduce you to LAB and why explain why you need get familiar with it. Dan plans to demonstrate the advantages of LAB over RGB and CYMK, by showing how LAB can alter color and contrast of an image without affecting its or saturation, as well as improve the ability to increase the saturation of an image with less image noise and cleaner colour separation.
This presentation is geared to those with a working knowledge of Photoshop. A familiarity with Curves, Layer masks, Gaussian Blur, color theory and the RGB and CMYK color model, Apply Image, and Blend If will be beneficial. Please note that this seminar will not go over how to prepare files for print nor how to prepare files for the web (although it can be done), but the focus is how LAB can used in any workflow.
