Color Management - GIMP 2.8 Beginners' Guide ep18 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this video for my beginners guide
I continue with gimp 2.8 preferences so
let's go to the edit menu and select
preferences
next we have color management now this
is one of the most advanced topics in a
photo editing software like GIMP and you
don't need to concern yourself with this
unless you are professional and by
professional I mean professional
photographer somebody who is creating
digital artwork gained professionally
sometimes that work will be displayed
only on digital devices like computer
displays sometimes that work will be
printed so depending on what you are
using GIMP for you may want to learn
about color management now I can give
you a few words about each of these
options but that won't be very useful if
you're really interested in color
management you should do your own
research you should do a Google search
for color spaces ICC profiles color
management also you may want to look for
these topics in YouTube there are plenty
of YouTube videos none of them will
answer all your questions I will include
a link in the description for two videos
that will get you started but overall if
you really want to learn about color
management search for articles to read
watch videos build your knowledge and
when you feel confident and start
understanding the color management come
back here and start applying it to your
work but like I said especially
beginners don't concern yourself with
this at this point and just one thing
something that you might experience
sometimes when you open photographs is
this file open behavior option I'm going
to drop a file in GIMP and you see I get
this dialog with this message that this
image has an embedded color profile
adobe RGB 1998 convert image to the RGB
workspace or you can
keep this embedded cover profile now
this is just an example you can have
another embedded color profile here
usually it's a good idea to keep the
embedded color profile sometimes you may
want to convert it to RGB working space
a lot of people prefer this color
profile because it has a wider range of
colors but depending on your display you
may not even see them if I click here to
keep this embedded profile go to file
open recent and open this image game and
this time I'm going to convert it now we
have two images open and this is once
with the converted profile this one is
with the embedded and there's slight
difference in the position of the images
but overall I don't see any difference
in the cour so this is very hard to
detect if you're not sure what to click
usually try to keep the embedded profile
but even if you convert it it's not
going to be very easy to tell the
difference I'm going to start the
Preferences dialog again go to the color
management and here in the file open
behavior if you don't want to be asked
what to do every time you have an image
you are opening an image with an
embedded color profile you can just
select here to keep the embedded profile
or to convert it every time to RGB
workspace so our space is cour profiles
also the way you monitor display scours
all that together can become very
confusing and like I said most of you
won't need this but if you do want to
take advantage of the color management
settings go ahead do your research read
learn watched videos and then come back
here and start applying this to your
work and that's it for this video I hope
that it was useful if it was like it
