farbverwalteten

Farbverwalteten is a German term that translates to "color-managed" in English. It refers to the process of controlling and ensuring consistent color reproduction across different devices and mediums within a digital workflow. This involves using specialized software and hardware that can accurately interpret and translate color information from its creation to its final output.

The goal of color management is to achieve predictable and accurate color. This is particularly important in fields such as graphic design, photography, printing, and video production where precise color representation is crucial. Without proper color management, the colors seen on a monitor might appear significantly different when printed on paper or displayed on another screen.

Key components of a color management system include color profiles (also known as ICC profiles). These profiles describe the color characteristics of a specific device, such as a monitor, scanner, or printer. By using these profiles, software can convert colors between different device spaces to ensure they are displayed or reproduced as intended. The process often involves calibrating devices to establish a baseline for their color output. This calibration, combined with the use of ICC profiles, allows for a consistent and accurate representation of color throughout the entire production chain.
