Hi, Can anyone tell me the best way to color match to RGB numbers.. I am using a color scanner on artwork to pickup key colors.. I then need to color correct the image in Photoshop to get as close the the scanned RGB number as possible… So far I have been using trial and error method with color balance… but this takes ages..

Have a look at the following tutorial I wrote to see if it helps.

It looks daunting, but once you give it a try you’ll see the instructions only make it look that way:

you can take a screenshot of your info pallete showing the destination values (the RGB values that you know are correct and want to reproduce) – then use Curves which is the most precise method to match the exact values in the areas you want.

Thats the way I do it anyway – set up an action to paste the screenshot into your active document, launch a curves adjustment and match away!
