What_you_see_is_not_what_you_always_get

What you see is not what you always get The line “what you see is what you get” is not always true especially when put into context. Try creating or putting a photo or a drawing in the computer, then putting all the right colors. What do you get? You have just created the perfect picture! Using all the techniques the software has to offer, you succeeded in making the pictures with the right colors. Just perfect. The problem came when you tried printing it out. The printed copy did not turn out exactly like the one in the computer right? Although it looks fine, but it does not fit into the one you see on screen. You tried editing the colors, to no vain. Then to get to think that what you see is not what you always get. There are some limitations in the computer technology that justifies what you see in the computer is not what you see when it is in print. This, combined with the light conditions are one of the most common factors that affect color printing. There are a lot of things that the publishers and the people have to consider in wanting to get the right colors into prints. To those who have the good fortune of doing it get to realize that there are many complexities, together with art and science, involved in the process. One of the reasons is the light being used by the computer for display. Pictures and designs are therefore illuminated by this, giving the viewer a crystal clear image, void of any fault, not only in colors but also in the lay out and the texture. It should be taken into account that monitors display images with added primary colors red, green and blue. These colors are not associated to in prints. The tool used in taking the image is also another big factor. Though there are already means of arranging images in the computer to make it look better, the possibility of it not coping up with the standards of the more advanced equipments is more than likely. Take, for example, a photo taken from an ordinary camera. Compared it with the one taken from a digital camera. You would notice the difference once you get to see them side by side. The more modern tool offers advanced features that enhances the colors and the picture as a whole. Another factor to be considered is the consistency of the lights used in the photo taking. If the photo is taken with fluorescent illuminating them, then it would definitely look different when taken into a setting of natural lighting like sunlight. So it would not be surprising that your photo would look quite different from the one you have taken. Wanting to get the right colors in picture is not always that easy. It pays to know some important factors about colors first before going through with it.
