Color Seperations
|
1) Gray balance
The measures of cyan, magenta, and yellow required to create a gray scale without producing a dominant hue. 2) Color correction Adjusting images to optimize values for highlight and shadow neutral tones, skin tones, and sharpness used to compensate for impurities in the printing ink and color separation 3) Tone compression The reduction in density that occurs naturally in the printed reproduction of an original. It is possible to compensate for tone compression to improve the quality of the reproduction. 4) Image enhancement (refers to Resolution) the un-sharp masking tool- makes images sharper…looks at changing density and makes it a harder edge than what was originally there. |

State the difference between gray balance and gray component replacement.
|
gray balance is the removal of equal amounts of C M Y areas of a four-color halftone and replacements of these color with a higher proportion of black. This produces a clearer, less muddy effect.
Gray component replacement is when we replace the graying component with BLACK(so you dont go brown) |
