Photoshop users will have a whole new world of LAB color opened up to them at the November 16th meeting of AUG Chicago, The Chicago Area Adobe Users Group. LAB is a color space that strives for perceptual uniformity to mimic our vision.
Our guest presenter Ted Moon will introduce you to LAB and demonstrate how it’s unique color structure can be exploited in ways unlike RGB and CMYK. Ted will show how introducing LAB into your workflow can allow you to achieve better color and contrast, ingredients to a better image.
