color basics The world is full of colors. Some researchers report that humans can distinguish about 16 million different colors. But what's more interesting is that most of the colors we see around us and all the colors we see on a TV or computer monitor can be created from just three different colored lights. How are all the colors made from just three different colors? Simply by combining the light in different ratios. That's it. Additive Colors Colored lights are mixed using additive color properties. The additive primary colors are red, green and blue (RGB). By changing the brightness of each of the three primary colors by varying degrees, you can make a wide range of colors. Computer Monitors and Televisions Computer monitors and televisions are an application of additive color. Animated RGB Color Cube Here is an animated RGB color cube. Another Way to Make Colors Subtractive Color Mixing The subtractive primary colors are cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY). But how do we print something that's red?

color theory Color Space Fundamentals Computer monitors emit color as RGB (red, green, blue) light. Although all colors of the visible spectrum can be produced by merging red, green and blue light, monitors are capable of displaying only a limited gamut (i.e., range) of the visible spectrum. Whereas monitors emit light, inked paper absorbs or reflects specific wavelengths. Cyan, magenta and yellow pigments serve as filters, subtracting varying degrees of red, green and blue from white light to produce a selective gamut of spectral colors. Like monitors, printing inks also produce a color gamut that is only a subset of the visible spectrum, although the range is not the same for both. Refer to the Instructions for Authors for your journal to determine if files should be supplied as RGB or CMYK. It can sometimes be difficult to visualize the reason for color shift in color space conversion. More information on Halftones
Photoshop Tutorial: Color Balance Using Levels Bair Art Edition's Tutorial on:Adjusting Color & ExposureIn Adobe Photoshop Solving Color and White Balance Problems: Using Levels Levels can be a useful tool for color correction in general, and is my favorite for correcting White Balance. For basic information on levels, and how to create a levels adjustment layer, see the Exposure Module: Using Levels. How the Channels Work In order to comprehend where you need to go with an image, and what channels you need to use in order to get there, you must first understand the relationship between RGB and CMYK color. In the levels control panel, you'll see a pull-down menu labeled "channel." In the RGB mode, we were using the graph to show how much of the image fell into the tonal ranges from pure black to pure white. In the Red channel it becomes "Cyan-point" to "Red-point" In the Green channel it becomes "Magenta-point to "Green-point" In the Blue channel it becomes "Yellow-point" to "Blue-point" Is this confusing?
