Tech Talk – Color Management
Getting the color out of your printer to match what you see on screen is the job of your color management system. Both Mac OS and Windows have built-in color management systems to enable this, along with the apps you use for photography. In order for color management to work properly, you need a profile for each of your devices. The profile acts like a fingerprint for the color for the device. The color management system uses these profiles to translate the color interpretation of one device to another. In this latest post I explain how color management works inside of ON1.
Becoming a Visual Storyteller
What is “visual story-telling” & what aspects of a story are involved? Let’s introduce the topic of storytelling and talk about how photographers are storytellers.

May Is Storytelling Month at ON1 Plus
Hi ON1 Plus tribe! My name is Colby Brown and I am incredibly excited to be a guest coach this month. Many of you have probably seen some of the ON1 videos I have created over the years, but for those that don’t know me, I am a landscape, travel and humanitarian photographer that has been working in this industry for the last 11 years. I have taught photography for National Geographic, lead photo workshops all over the globe and have worked with some of the biggest companies in both the tech & travel space throughout my career.
ON1 Photo Contest (April)
Our last in house photo contest was both inspiring and fun to host. Since you guys were so awesome in your voting I wanted to go ahead and post the April contest and let you guys choose your favorite! The theme for last month’s contest was Spring/Floral. This was an open ended theme. I wanted people to enter a photo that either gave their interpretation of “Spring” or they could just submit a “Floral” image. Either was accepted.
Thanks and See Again Soon! All About Color Video Series
Hi All. I just wanted to say thanks for having me as your guest coach in April. Getting back in here and interacting with all of the Plus members has not only been a great time for me, but I always learn a lot from you guys. I hope I was able to help you understand some of the geeky/techie side of color a little more this month. We’ve made the series available for download below. I hope that you take away that these things are indeed important. But hopefully you also found that it’s easier than you thought to keep track of color spaces.
A Quick Plus Recap
It’s been a great couple of weeks in Plus. Here’s a recap in case you missed anything.
Photo Critiques & Live Recap Q&A (Recorded)
Watch Matt & Hudson Recap the Spring Photo Critiques and answer questions from the community live. All of the Spring Photo Critque videos are also posted below categorized by both gallery page and Plus member name. Hudson has a note for everyone who participated in the Ask a Coach Plus Discussion Forum.
For those who are new to Plus, each month all Plus members have the opportunity to submit a photo for critique. Every single photo submitted gets critiqued by one of the coaches. It’s just another perk of being a Plus member. Photo critiques are a great learning exercise and way to improve your photography. The coaches give their professional constructive critique in a positive manner.
5 Ways to Spark Creativity with a Personal Project
As artists we all have a point where we hit a creative rut. This can come from photographing the same thing over and over again, or certain times of the year, slow season or you may just need to be inspired to create something new. Photography is always evolving not only as technology advances but also as styles and trends change. It is important that we all take some time to spark our creativity and refresh with a new set of eyes.
