" This episode of pixel perfect is brought to you by square space and Netflix."
" I'm here now with another -- rumored jump hook up the manual when you guys -- admired tremendously is virtual guys -- talented guy and -- so all around the Google paper -- today. When -- talk about crucial proof really is a lot of discussion about."
" Color management. And you needed to get your first proof your best crew. If you're not a good color management. You're really not as -- that at a certain point. There's always a mismatch between what you at the moment -- interpret a page. And color management limits problems particular to beat them. Sometimes are also ships in -- and -- to the ability to seed small and quizzes and driver China and over. So to cure this mismatch between what you see -- them. What -- Actually Andy's old school techniques like her and actually make a different take a look and is what to do it. The words. The image on your monitors that look exactly like what you want a new drug a little bit further way to compensate for you know actors it's actually -- it. But it gets you a couple of things here that can really to kinda. What really go to technique that genius for just about any type of just the -- perfect. You know and exposure. Him in the traditional Bertram we bracket yeah we'd make a series of corrections from dark to light from -- equipment and see where we liked. Certain of at least dual lot of things to find the right answer. So we can you gotten any kind of proof and well and that's what -- dirt or who has. So basically this is awaiting -- 100% one. Convenient. Atlantic utter piece of paper publishes it on when she. Imagine if I haven't -- this ends when I finally print the maybe the blueprint. Comes out the 1%. And we don't wanna have unrealistic expectations. When you don't know what's truly out. But once -- this stuff which is still out Trish how much to hand them monitored precisely match -- Jeff we're talking about subtleties here if you're gross inadequacies and really -- the wrong color management. But even if you're really want to per print usually need to do a bit more solid. So here I'm just gonna take this file. Make an adjustment layer for whatever just -- making -- bracket -- anything. -- minute radius sure. Could be anything so we can blend into our warm cool saturate do you set for -- what he wanted to image. And make that decision based -- looking at the print. We're looking at the modern singled. We're really want to get them to get to first make that decision I'm just arbitrarily in this decision saturate this image and it really such. Big seek. I am going to an extreme here wouldn't go to four. I I don't recommend that you make a ridiculous corrections poster -- also shares but it definitely recommend you go to. There are things I -- Brian yes that. You know musician brining out -- wanna just series of creativity of this is go to extreme. And retreat to a useful. -- an aspirin and these military when they're trying to hit targets they overshoot or pull back a little to finally get. Get it on second shuttle -- the -- creep up on target him to the same thing here nearly do you the same thing and emergency rooms are real big trauma case you -- over Medicaid the person to stabilize the condition and then pulled out right dosage. It makes me a little nervous look at it. But it's a good principle it's efficient. Sony isn't Linear -- here and I'm gonna go from black to wait in this image because I go right colors horizontal. I'm gonna drag it grinning and cross or calling my dragon vertically if you. Wanted to see you're the greatest variety across an image -- didn't colored endemic to this and go off. Great the mask and it's important note at the degrading was put into the mask for the right. Just comes up automatically and -- but. The whole thing now I've got black and wants what on the other in other words. No effect on the left where black. Progressively increasing fact that goes onto 100%. Somewhere between. Not enough. No adjustment. And too much. Gotta -- The thing is we are in now monitoring us precisely match print we're not sure exactly how much saturation. Now we know and we print. We're gonna print this got a color green across. We're gonna look for the point which we like the final. What's say that I got a break here in the middle we're rocket. -- use the eye dropper tool and sample. That area of image that notice I'm not getting a green. Getting a sample in the Graham Norton and it'll do here is just option delete. Still the mouse it's no longer a gradient. X the -- So. If you sample to the left to be -- a little -- lighter it's all about. Deciding. Where omni present. You like -- and at this point image on scribble a little bit more saturated than you wanted to print it right. Now you -- final. It's like getting. Under troops and why there's under -- hundred shades -- critics. You know in the traditional -- used to -- just. Well a lot of people -- increments here so we can actually come in and adjust the gradient. Poster. And you can get. -- As you like -- people liked seeing the little lines in the final -- helps them distinguish exactly where to go this is a little bit fine but we -- really intense adjustment. You start -- Come up. Even more. -- here. Let us nothing and -- it's. Beautiful now so yeah. Summer between not enough too much either right answer. When you can't see it on a monitor you can track and crew member this happens for any kind could be colored luminous hue saturation. Could be introduction and always could be a much -- and something that you can -- approve any."

" Please of the kind of classic. Techniques and show in -- worship attendance -- Seniors. Extra show -- dvds. And account back and it is important and didn't really reflects for -- captured -- would you create because policy orcas is a combination of photography and then what you -- to it you know so it's important. Trip to visualize on the screen. Yeah just like -- and it's our final product that's also does really interest and things and make something durable. You look at something for a long time we come back to it again and again. Is wonderful look at monitors that glow like -- are crystal globe one -- Some -- but in the mean time to actually make something up that it's something that's full scale physical with particular materials. And durable always in your environment that you can come back to again and again. It's a wonderful interacting with images and sharing and just people so the -- always be with us we're really advancing print making to new heights these days. Because of advances in printers inks and the blackest blacks -- saturated colors wide range of subjects when you print them."
" My proofing is mostly done and and that's and 3898. And materials materials. Well because -- the newbies I'm working on now how which is going to be print and eventually on a final further stroke back planning on doing a high -- us. I trust paper which are usually prefer like campuses in and that's the now what I'd lost. Which is is kind of Africa's oldest and I'm trying to more -- and never got before so I can't get away -- area. And are approaching a long every step is -- I'll put something in there is doesn't show up oh god shows up and do more so you know it is important crew through as you're working up."
" details what this is all about particularly show it on a classic things that people run into is they make their prints. Particular and papers but affects all papers include losses as well. And material you've got the rich and clip out in the mid tones give you these lush -- and saturated colors. But they often in order to achieve that too much -- the shots and you lose a little bit shall teach them so. Compensate for over -- in the shadow. By lightening up the shadows artificially work a little too much on screen so -- pan down. Is what this technical but it's a lot like being in the traditional our -- where. -- is what's gonna talk that would drive down. And select a microwave this darker take a floppy and my equity Coca. You know it would drive now how much darker the mostly into -- actually -- watercolors you used to. Kind of trial lawyer -- one of things is before you decide is this technique particularly using. Papers like they'll papers in particular it kinda wanna give yourself a 1020 minute waiting period go get a cup of because shuttle's often want to try a couple of if you just look at the wet print. And an inkjet prints come up largely dried and try to deliver cool -- in a -- papers shall await sweet -- Having done that. If you don't scene that detail. In your should -- that you see on the monitor that's the time where you know he when he used this technique I'm just gonna make a -- shelves like them. Stuff I'm doing now is actually for the -- 6000 which has heating unit. Really cutters and the color does is pretty intense experience there are the things are really durable. And we're gonna two point when they were religious what -- Princeton -- yeah. -- this is there interest. Districts so. For so imagine. I'm a print this and who lose subtle shadow detail down here and I'm taking care to make sure they aren't fun to see it there but I don't see Democrat. My drive current. So what could make it quick mask -- this mask. Really spend too much I'm so we're just gonna come back out here and use the yes -- color range. Often do this seriously sometimes a little faster. A little bit more targeted I am making contrast mouse going throws universe so sampling the block. I -- be able trim the first in here. Very often you want you to lose leaves few great -- other mountains surrounding her I think this -- to light you're really wanna target is deep teach out. And not have the -- spread into the mid -- which usually just fine. So leaving fewer -- grimaced as a great job. Theories and I'm very complex election just like coloring simple blood -- the -- goodness you're done. So without selection. We can now. -- Don't like them up. I'm associates Kurtz though I'm on a levels move my network as well. -- if you were really aggressive might be able to you shuttle pilots like Apple is just like flexible. And there's another. So. My monitor looks fine print -- much to lighten up my image in order to compensate for -- grinning down. And here is. Much go to extreme tree curious position what we're gonna let -- too much. But -- any it to you masks for one where there's couple ways to do this I'm gonna do this. It. Gonna go to a new group from the layers. And we're gonna -- the effect of financiers. An article yet they do yeah there are there worst possible time. So now in this group. And this group can -- so I'm gonna -- a mask. Group doesn't come -- unlike and it just automatically and now we're -- is this bracket crucial technique showed. To drag a gradient cross that's so now I've got -- radiant where. The contrast so you're like gradient for the whole group endings in the group and then here's a mask for. The literature that only targets deep shots. And that's going to let me see. The -- get progressively stronger is a goes across print. Again we're gonna print. We're gonna look and find we're we actually get the -- back and show us let's say it's three quarters the -- on the right. I'm back appear on the gradient is the eye dropper sample a gradient I -- the -- now that adjustment. Since -- simply edit fill and just make this gradient. The precise density that printed correctly. Now -- you don't get much."
" That's really good stuff from very useful information especially for -- that they were just got your printers and you'd just like get their results you want here's a lot audiences are due to start playing with them and get the perfect print that you can proudly displayed on your war. The gallery who knows. It's always good hang out with you wouldn't talk and see there's new stuff you're doing -- are you were so relaxing and that's -- let's see this particular -- Here rock yeah there are. Tons of -- on the -- So they're PDF actually scraping techniques a lot of other things about printing -- yeah that's results for your car regret annual revenues comes up comes a month yeah and -- tips and stories and everything else does so many users over hundred PS downloads are there that so what it in the newsletters -- the new ones. An island's mothers and successors interviews with people her book review. All kinds of his punishment is the way you can find out what's new on a website. A a lot of resources every month so visit the site and get all that information it's very useful stuff. JP thanks for coming on expert so it does it really is out to see you guys next week."
