The ascendancy of digital photography and cross publishing streams using internet and print have caused major shifts in image editing away from CMYK and toward RGB. Now, the evolution of color-managed workflows using ICC profiling has introduced many to the concept of LAB space. Forward thinking color specialists have figured out how to use LAB space to their advantage for color alterations, sharpening and masking techniques that simply can’t be done in RGB or CMYK.

This Third Thursday explains the concept of LAB space as a color measurement system and as a color mode rendering hub, and then goes beyond that to show how LAB space is used in Photoshop for cutting edge image adjustment. Finally, we show how LAB is used to tie the printed outcome of the image to GRACoL7, the most up-to-date process control system in use by commercial printers and even newspaper and packaging print suppliers.
