Colour management – Wikipedia will tell you this is the “controlled conversion between the colour representations of various devices”. And, broadly speaking, this is pretty much spot-on. Although we prefer to think of colour management from a practical perspective; how managing colour correctly throughout your workflow and various devices can improve your image quality, and perhaps more importantly – your own satisfaction!
With this in mind, a few months ago we created two bundle items to help you start this accurate colour management process. The Color Confidence Studio Photo & Studio View respectively combines various devices and solutions to set you on your way to achieving quality colour results.
But what are they, and why do you need them?
Color Confidence Studio Photo
This is ideally suited to photographers offering solutions to white balance your camera, calibrate your monitor screen to display colours accurately and something to verify/check the colour reproduction of your workflow. To achieve all this, the Studio Photo gives you:
- an X-Rite ColorMunki Display for accurate monitor calibration
- a Total Balance – the durable and neutral grey reference to balance your camera
- a Kodak Check Up Kit that provides a visual verification to check colour accuracy in your workflow
All in all, the Studio Photo is a great way to start achieving accurate colour from capture and on-screen, and to assess how accurately colour is produced throughout your workflow.

Color Confidence Studio View
This one is great for photographers as well as graphic designers and imaging professionals, offering a colour management and viewing solution. It allows you to calibrate your monitor to display accurate colour, the means to shield your monitor from unwanted light and glare than can distort colour representation, and a daylight replication light to proof images under the correct lighting conditions. It gives you this using:
- an X-Rite ColorMunki Display for accurate monitor calibration
- a PChOOD to shield unwanted light from your display creating an accurate working environment
- a GrafiLite formulated to replicate natural daylight conditions allowing for image proofing in the right light
The Studio View is a great way to create the right environment to start accurately viewing and reviewing colour.
