Using Kodak Plug-in Filters in Photoshop (George Hamma) Plug-ins are small independent programs which perform functions within the photo editing program (e.g. Photoshop). Hundreds of plug-ins are available, some for free, Many plug-ins provide more levels of adjustment or more sophisticated ways of performing normal image correcting functions such as sharpening or applying smoothing blurs. In the examples shown the original unedited image is shown followed by the result using different techniques for achieving the desired correction. This lecture/demonstration was presented at the October 2005 DISIG meeting

Color Management (Maurice Green) Color management, or rather, a color-managed digital imaging workflow, is an attempt to achieve that long promised, but often unattained, goal of computer imaging...WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get, pronounced wizzy-wig).This tutorial discusses the color systems and color spaces used in today's modern digital imaging devices and the various methods for calibrating and color profiling each of the devices in order to achieve comparability between them. Presented at DISIG May 2005.
