You simply MUST be able to recognize the difference
between CYAN and BLUE… between CYAN and
GREEN…. Between MAGENTA and RED…. Between
YELLOW and RED…. etc, etc.
Study the Color Wheel pictured above. Try to understand
that the Photographic Colors work together as ―pairs‖. For
example, RED and CYAN are a ―pair‖. If you do
something to INCREASE one of the pair, the other one
MUST decrease by an equal amount… teeter totter style.
GREEN and MAGENTA are a ―pair‖. And, BLUE and
YELLOW are a ―pair‖.
The phosphor-generated color on the monitor screen
cannot EVER ―match‖ the ink-generated color on a sheet
of paper. This is an important thing to learn when
working with computers and creating colors on the
monitor screen that you hope to be able to print out on
paper.
Let’s say that you ―think‖ your print has a slight ―green‖
cast in it. OK…. go to the slider bars shown on Page 14
and ―remove‖ some of the GREEN, by sliding the
MAGENTA slider bar a little to the ―minus‖…. Maybe 5
units. Then ―SAVE‖ the settings. In the photo to the right,
Yellow and Magenta, when added together, pro-
duce RED.
Magenta and Cyan, when added together, produce
BLUE.
Cyan and Yellow, when added together, produce
GREEN.
YELLOW and BLUE are a teeter-totter pair
MAGENTA and GREEN are a teeter-totter pair
CYAN and RED are a teeter-totter pair
If one of the pair is INCREASED, the other one
is automatically DECREASED and by an equal
amount.
