Master Colors' innovations have shown the potential to revolutionize the way artists compose their work. But the possibilities stretch far beyond the realm of visual arts.

One field containing many such possibilities is "color correction". Master Colors' knowledge has tremendous implications for this field, threatening to make incredibly costly, time-consuming processes become stunningly simple and effective. In the following sections, we will walk through the basics of these ground breaking ideas, which have come to be embodied by the phrase "New Spectrum".

What is Color Correction?

Color correction is a broad term, which actually characterizes many separate processes of modifying an image to achieve desired results. While the ideas presented here certainly have an impact on each distinct process in this field, there is one general goal underlying all color correction which will be our focus.

This goal is to achieve the most accurate representation of an image when it is being moved from one medium to another. For instance, when taking an image from a computer monitor, and printing it out, thus changing its medium to one of paper and ink, we hope that it resembles the image on the screen as closely as possible. Or similarly, when we take a digital photograph, we are taking an image from one medium, the real world, and confining it to another medium, a display screen, through a digital process. Like our printout, it is hoped that this image closely resembles the original too.

This basic problem is really at the heart of color correction. It is a problem that Master Colors' ideas can shed a great deal of light on. This is accomplished in a fairly simply way: through a series of insights that provide a clear definition of accuracy. That is, when we say we want an image to be copied as accurately as possible, we have a good intuitive idea of what we want to see. But conveying that understanding to a machine is very difficult, much trickier than it sounds.

Master Colors not only has defined precisely what an accurate image should look like to agree with our best expectations, but also has developed the exact process for achieving this accuracy.

You may ask, why has this seemingly simple problem been so difficult, and what is it about this solution that offers such promise? We will explore these questions in the following sections.
