        <p>Frans van der Geest is (bijna) klaar met zijn <a href="http://fvdgeest-dtp.blogspot.com/2010/03/978-90-456-4855-2.html" title="nieuwe InDesign CS5 boek">nieuwe InDesign CS5 boek</a>. Als je &#8212;zoals veel Digital Engineers deden&#8212; de complete Creative Suite 4 over hebt geslagen, is het niet onverstandig een goed boek aan te schaffen aangezien er in Creative Suite 5 weer veel nieuwe en nuttige dingen te vinden zijn én aangezien je één versie achterloopt. Veel verbeteringen die al in CS4 zaten ben je immers nog niet machtig. Hou zeker na 12 April de <a href="http://fvdgeest-dtp.blogspot.com" title="site van Frans">site van Frans</a> in de gaten, want dan is het embargo op het schrijven over de nieuwe CS5 functies opgeheven.</p>

        <p>De beide <span class="caps">PDF</span>&#8217;s van Henk Gianotten&#8217;s presentaties <strong>&#8216;Voorspelbare Kleuren&#8217;</strong> en <strong>&#8216;Untitled&#8217;</strong> <a href="http://www.indesignusergroup.nl/handouts/InDesignUG_Gianotten_Handout.pdf">staan online</a>. Henk verzorgde in Amsterdam beide presentaties tijdens de <a href="http://www.indesignusergroup.nl/forum/punbb/index.php">InDesign User Group</a>. Het betreft &#8220;<span class="caps">ISO</span> 12647 druk- en printstandaarden: voorspelbare kleuren&#8221; en &#8220;Untitled, of waarom ze jouw <span class="caps">PDF</span> niet vinden!&#8221;. De <span class="caps">PDF</span>&#8217;s zijn erg informatief en ook nuttig als je de presentaties gemist hebt.  </p>

	<p>Een korte omschrijving: <em>&#8220;Het doel van de <span class="caps">ISO</span>-organisatie: gelijktrekken en standaardiseren, ongeacht afkomst. Voor drukwerk is de huidige standaard 12647, maar van gelijktrekken is nog absoluut geen sprake. Henk Gianotten zal tijdens deze sessie de samenhang aantonen tussen de kleurruimtedefinities van vector- en pixelafbeeldingen in de werkruimte, op het beeldscherm, en tijdens output naar een proof, drukwerk of print. Ook de verwerking van <span class="caps">PMS</span>-, Goe- en <span class="caps">HKS</span>-steunkleuren komen aan bod waarbij de optimale werkwijze wordt uiteengezet. Waar moet je als gebruiker op letten om optimale kleurresultaten te bereiken, en op welke manier kun je kleurdefinities bij huisstijlen beter vastleggen? Kortom, genoeg informatie om consistente kwaliteit te kunnen leveren.</em></p>

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>In response to the &#8220;Color Management in the Command Line&#8221; article, a reader tells me <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php" title="ImageClick">ImageMagick</a> is also very fast, highly flexible and scriptable <strong>command line software</strong>. Apart from that, it&#8217;s Open Source (e.g. free download) and can also be implemented in a <a href="http://www.enfocus.com/contentpage.php?id=6190" title="Switch09 flow">Switch09 flow</a>. So at first glance both Apps appear do be able to perform the same tasks. But there are few important differences between the two: ImageMagick is free, but it is more limited. It can read, write and convert images as well as perform fairly simple tasks like scaling, flipping or adjusting colors. <br />
 <br />
</p>

	<p><a href="http://www.softcolor.fi/toolbox/" title="SoftColor">SoftColor</a> however, can perform fully automatic color corrections which can be tuned (layer based / correction intensity / non-linear color, exposure, contrast adjustments). It supports <strong>color management using <span class="caps">ICC</span> profiles</strong>, thus allowing the application to convert images from <span class="caps">RGB</span> to <span class="caps">CMYK</span> for example. It can output to layered <span class="caps">PSD</span> files (original image / improved image) and perform more complex tasks like sharpening, changing the contrast or colors. <br />
<br />
</p>

	<p>ImageMagic does have one advantage: It can be implemented using Windows, Unix or Mac <span class="caps">OSX</span>. SoftColor is Windows only. That&#8217;s not entirely bad, as SoftColor is build around a tiny collection of easy to use static binary configuration files. Imagemagick binary version requires multiple dll files. SoftColor also supports <span class="caps">RAW</span> files out of the box, ImageMagick requires a plug-in. You do pay a few extra bucks for SoftColor, but not nearly as much as a Photoshop license and you can reach an actual human if you run into any problems or have specific questions. To sum it up: If you&#8217;re thinking about automating repetitive tasks and you&#8217;re looking for a lightweight tool be sure to check both tools out. </p>

        <p>Over the years I&#8217;ve seen quite a lot of tools to perform your color correction. But I&#8217;ve never come across a <strong>command-line tool for color correction</strong>. <a href="http://www.softcolor.fi/toolbox" title="SoftColor Toolbox">SoftColor Toolbox</a> from Finland is just that. It can perform your color corrections, image processing and color management chores, either per single image or batch processing <em>via the command line</em>. You can either activate the command line or run SoftColor from a server. These days with Apps increasingly building <em>feature on top of feature</em> (and generally being a big memory-hog) it&#8217;s nice to see a super-light command-line tool like SoftColor. If you&#8217;re interested in command-line image-processing, be sure to have a look at <a href="http://softcolor.tumblr.com/" title="their blog">their blog</a> as well. </p>

        <p>The InDesign User Group Amsterdam has another <a href="http://www.indesignusergroup.com/chapters/amsterdam/events/1365/" title="great gig coming up">great gig coming up</a> for everyone that&#8217;s interested in typography. A totally free <strong>all-day event</strong> with type designers and InDesign experts. Details in Dutch after the &#8216;read more&#8217;. </p> <p>Het volgende evenement van de InDesign User Group staat gepland op <strong>31 maart 2010</strong>. Het betreft een <span class="caps">GRATIS</span> evenement met als onderwerp Typografie.  </p>

	<p>Al zolang als het gedrukte woord bestaat zijn mensen geobsedeerd door het uiterlijk en de leesbaarheid ervan. Van houtskool en ganzeveer tot hout en lood, letters en hun onderlinge relatie zijn door de jaren heen het middelpunt gebleven van verhitte discussies en uiteenlopende meningen. Sinds de introductie van de personal computer (en InDesign) is de manier waarop wij letters tot ons nemen drastisch veranderd, maar de basis blijft hetzelfde: zonder typografie, geen inhoud.  </p>

	<p>De InDesign User Group in Nederland presenteert met gepaste trots ons eerste all-day event, gericht op de kunst en techniek achter typografie. Een uniek kijkje in de keuken van de lettertypeontwerper, waarbij we inzicht krijgen in het recept van een nieuwe creatie. Met een snufje x-hoogte en een vleugje spatiëring komt daar een nieuw lettertype uitgerold, waarvan de mogelijkheden nog ontdekt moeten worden en het creatieve gebruik slechts een mysterie is.  </p>

	<p>Met bekende letterontwerpers maar ook met aandacht voor het gebruik van alle mogelijkheden van de hedendaagse lettertypes in InDesign, beloofd dit een dag te worden die je niet mag missen!  Er wordt nog druk gewerkt aan de sessies, dus hou deze website in de gaten voor meer informatie over de inhoud!</p>

	<p>Er is beperkt plaats tot 180 personen. <a href="http://www.indesignusergroup.com/chapters/amsterdam/events/1365/" title="Registreren kan hier.">Registreren kan hier.</a> </p>

The service is free, requires no registration, holds up to 2 Gigabyte and keeps the data for two weeks. Perfect! How can they do it? They sell advertising-space for the entire background.

        <p>Recently the 45th printer company in the Netherlands got <span class="caps">ISO</span> 12647 approval. This basically means their entire operation is dedicated to the so-called &#8216;Certified Color&#8217; process. The <span class="caps">ISO</span> qualification guarantees their printing quality, the inks, paper and just about every detail you can think of. As such companies selecting these printers can rest assure they will receive the best possible quality. More and more companies that rely on perfect color (such as the food-business) are starting to find out. </p>

	<p>The 45th printer to join the <span class="caps">ISO</span> qualification is <strong>Telenga located in the Frisian town Franeker</strong>. Currently only 45 printers carry the complete <span class="caps">ISO</span> 12647. Another 135 have stated they can reproduce the exact quality. (One of the important things about the <span class="caps">ISO</span> process is the fact that a client is able to measure the quality. The <span class="caps">ISO</span> guidelines, rules and datasets are available to anyone. As such complete <span class="caps">ISO</span> approval is not absolutely necessary in order to reach the same level of quality). Of course these companies are not able to carry the official <span class="caps">ISO</span> approval. </p> <p>The entire list as of Januari the 15th:</p>

        <p>The Amsterdam InDesign User Group has a great gig coming up: Henk Gianotten wil be discussing how to achieve predictable and high quality colors for your printed artwork. He&#8217;ll also discuss how to set up the colors of a new corporate identity. If you think you already know how to do this by just selecting a few Pantone colors, well&#8230; you obviously haven&#8217;t met Henk! His 2nd session discusses the use of <span class="caps">PDF</span> and how search-engines like Google index them. Henk will show you what you can do to create better <span class="caps">PDF</span> files using meta-data. This InDesign User Group Afternoon is scheduled for the 12th of January at the Adobe HQ in Amsterdam. </p> <p><strong>Deel 1: <span class="caps">ISO</span> 12647 druk- en printstandaarden: voorspelbare kleuren</strong><br />
Het doel van de <span class="caps">ISO</span>-organisatie: gelijktrekken en standaardiseren, ongeacht afkomst. Voor drukwerk is de huidige standaard 12647, maar van gelijktrekken is nog absoluut geen sprake. Henk Gianotten zal tijdens deze sessie de samenhang aantonen tussen de kleurruimtedefinities van vector- en pixelafbeeldingen in de werkruimte, op het beeldscherm, en tijdens output naar een proof, drukwerk of print. Ook de verwerking van <span class="caps">PMS</span>-, Goe- en <span class="caps">HKS</span>-steunkleuren komen aan bod waarbij de optimale werkwijze wordt uiteengezet. Waar moet je als gebruiker op letten om optimale kleurresultaten te bereiken, en op welke manier kun je kleurdefinities bij huisstijlen beter vastleggen? Kortom, genoeg informatie om consistente kwaliteit te kunnen leveren.</p>

	<p><strong>Deel 2: Untitled, of waarom ze jouw <span class="caps">PDF</span> niet vinden!</strong><br />
<span class="caps">PDF</span> kent extra mogelijkheden om metadata te embedden. Zoekmachineoptimalisatie doet daar belangrijke dingen mee. Henk Gianotten toonde al op diverse congressen hoe fout onze <span class="caps">PDF</span>&#8217;s zijn en wat er (en hoe) veel beter kan. Soms komisch maar meestal &#8220;om te huilen&#8221; wat hij ons zal laten zien. <span class="caps">PDF</span> kan veel, maar we doen er nog veel te weinig mee, volgens Henk.</p>

	<p><strong>Henk Gianotten</strong><br />
Werkt al ruim 45 jaar in de grafische industrie,  en geldt als groot promotor van procesoptimalisering met behulp van o.a. standaards. Vanaf 1985 was Henk  de grote promotor van PostScript voor de integrale productie van documenten. Hij ontving in 2003 de Grafische Cultuurprijs als waardering voor zijn rol als voorlichter tussen creatie en productie. Henk publiceert in boeken en vaktijdschriften als Publish, presenteert op internationale seminars en is lid van de <span class="caps">CMBO</span> Werkgroep Standaards en geeft o.a. workshops over <span class="caps">ISO</span> 12647.</p>

        <p>Met dank aan <a href="http://bno.nl/" title="BNO"><span class="caps">BNO</span></a>, <a href="http://cmbo.nl/" title="CMBO"><span class="caps">CMBO</span></a> en het <a href="http://www.kvgo.nl" title="KVGO"><span class="caps">KVGO</span></a> kan ik met jullie de nieuwste (geheel herziende) <strong>Richtlijn Aanleveren</strong> delen. In hun eigen woorden: <em>&#8220;De nieuwe richtlijn moet de communicatie tussen ontwerpers en drukkers verbeteren. Tegelijk verschijnt er een tweede variant die zich richt op het proces tussen ontwerpers en opdrachtgevers. In de communicatie tussen ontwerpers en drukkers kan veel fout gaan maar ook tussen ontwerpers en hun opdrachtgevers ontstaat vaak ruis op de lijn. Het gevolg is dat vaak het product, het traject, de opbrengst of de prijs bij een van deze partijen niet aan de verwachtingen voldoet.</em></p> <p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="365" height="400" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab"><param name="movie" value="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#202020" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="d=1KUSkY9MoejfTiNC1NDsEA" /><embed src="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#202020" width="365" height="400" align="middle" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="d=1KUSkY9MoejfTiNC1NDsEA" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object></p>

        <p>The <strong>First Dutch InDesign User Magazine</strong> was released yesterday. It&#8217;s a <a href="http://bit.ly/4sVpd2" title="free download">free download</a> but registration at the InDesign User forum is required before you can download it. And because it&#8217;s a <span class="caps">PDF</span> Magazine you can use the links in each article to discuss or post questions at the InDesign User website. I also had the honor to contribute to the magazine and wrote an article about what to do <em>after you&#8217;ve finished your design</em>. I wrote about the checks you can perform to make sure your document will print fine and how to find and eliminate those small errors that always somehow sneek in complex designs. (It&#8217;s a rather lengthy article bit perhaps I&#8217;ll translate it if I get around to it). I hope the Dutch readers will find it usefull. </p>
