Magenta: One of the subtractive primaries the hue of which is used for one of the 4 color process inks. It reflects blue and red light and absorbs green light.

Magenta is the complimentary color to green. It is composed of blue and red light.

Cyan Magenta Yellow Key. The first three are the primary colour of subtractive mixing, which is the principle on which inks rely in order to create a sense of colour.

Cyan Magenta Yellow Black (why "K" for black? Probably because "B" was already used for Blue in RGB). Colours displayed on TVs, monitors etc. use RGB (Red Green Blue), whilst colours on printed paper such as magazines are created using CMYK.

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, BlacK; prints. Most colour printers, ink-jet, laser, dye-sublimation, thermal, and crayon printers use these as their printer colours. This is one of the colour management problems for computers.

Blue = Magenta + Cyan
Kodak's new CMY CFA
One way to increase the sensitivty of a CCD would be to do away with the CFA, unfortunately if we did that we'd have a monochrome sensor, but there is another answer.

Mostly magenta, cyan and blue
Heavy on the green with very little magenta or blue

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black; These are the printer colours used to create colour prints.

CMYK: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. The four colors in the inksets of many photo-quality printers. Some printers use six ink colors to achieve smoother, more photographic prints. The two additional colors are often lighter shades of cyan and magenta.

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and BlacK. Colours used by most printers to produce your prints. Colour shifts can be caused when the colour management system tries to convert your PC's RGB files to CMYK.

CMYK - Cyan, Magenta, yellow and Key (Black). Process colours. A colour system used by printers to combine each colour on a different printing plate to make up a full colour image. 4 colour printing.

CMYK - Cyan, magenta, yellow, black; often called process colors; a color model used to optimize images for printing in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four colors.

CMYK - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK; These are the printer colors used to create color prints. Most color printers, Ink-Jet, Laser, Dye-Sublimation and Thermal printers use these as their printer colors.

CMYK - (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) The four-ink colors used in process printing. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are the three subtractive primaries. CMYK colors are simulated on a computer monitor using additive red, green, and blue light.

Cool, slightly magenta color cast, but still good overall color. Excellent resolution and detail though.

Short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black; color model that defines the amount of color by percentage.

CMY - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. Named the subtractive colors of the human visual spectrum, since cyan = white - red, magenta = white - green, and yellow = white - blue.

see them; for example, when your test print has too much green, you "tell" the printer to subtract green from the filter pack When your test print has too much magenta, you "tell" the printer to add green to the filter pack, and so on.

Thermal-autochrome, a process used in a few printers from Fuji, uses a special paper containing separate layers for the cyan, magenta and yellow pigments.

The photographic emulsion used for colour photographic materials consists of three colour emulsion layers (cyan, yellow and magenta) along with other supporting layers. The colour layers are sensitised to their corresponding colours.

CMYK - A color model based on four process colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The colors are mixed to create a full-color image on a printer.

There is nothing that requires images be captured as Red, Green and Blue--or Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. Our world actually exists as an infinite number of different colors, ranging along the spectrum of light from ultraviolet to infrared.

The four process colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. CMYK image A four-channel image containing a cyan, magenta, yellow, and black channel. A CMYK image is generally used to print a color separation.

A colour system based on the four colours used in colour printing: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and BlacK. Can also be a colour mode used to define colours in a digital image.

Pie chart with fully saturated cyan, blue, magenta and red:
Saturation intent is not desirable for photos because it does not attempt to maintain color realism.

In your digital darkroom it is possible to reduce the saturation of the specific magenta hue that causes the "purple fringing".

The power line in Figure 1 clearly shows a magenta colored fringe along the line. Figure 2 shows the same line after the color fringing has been removed.

This image includes synthetic step gradients of Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Red, Yellow, Green, and Black. The high saturation patches in many of these gradients will be outside the gamut of most monitors, as well as most printer/ink/paper combinations.

Acronym for Cyan (process Blue), Magenta (process Red), Yellow and Black, the primary colors of ink used in professional printing process to which Black is added for enhancement or for true Black.

-Subtractive primaries - yellow, magenta and cyan.
-Subtractive synthesis - combination color system used in modern photography materials. The complimentary colors of yellow, magenta and cyan are formed to provide a reasonably full color image.

Notice how the colorcast resulted in a strong magenta. Again, this is because when the camera is set to fluorescent light. It is in effect ready to neutralize light with a relatively green cast to it.

The CYM color system is modeled with a Cyan/Magenta/Yellow color wheel. Finally, the RYB system relies on a Red/Yellow/Blue color wheel. The distinct color system a camera uses will produce an image within a defined color wheel.

I would agree that in the second photo with the cloudy wb setting the color went magenta. However, in different shots with different cameras, this may help a lot. In the second shot with the poloarizer, it also went magenta.

CMYK ­ The process colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The letters KB used to denote black, to avoid confusing it with blue. Cyan, magenta and yellow are known as the subtractive primaries.

We start with White (paper) which is the presence of all colors and use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow pigments to subtract from the image to achieve black. The pigments subtract colors from the white light reflected off the paper.

For example, red and cyan, green and magenta or blue and yellow visually intensify one another if placed in close proximity.

CMYK - An acronym for the ink colors Cyan (process blue), Magenta (process red), Yellow and Black used in four-color process printing. The primary colors of light (not of the inks used in printing) are red, green and blue.

If we reduced the red influence, the sky would turn more cyan. If we increased the red color number beyond 64, the sky would have a slight magenta cast since red would then be our second dominant color and red + blue makes magenta.

A printer technology that uses specialized paper with three heat-sensitive pigment layers (cyan, magenta, and yellow) in the paper. Each layer is sensitive to a different temperature.

Colours can be corrected using colour correction filters (CC filters). A CC30 Magenta filter in British waters will remove some of the greenness. A CC30 Red filter in tropical waters will remove some of the blueness.

The other colors are cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta and yellow.

The Black and White print came out slightly magenta when compared to the grayscale. The prints seemed slightly softer than the Kodak prints but this may have been due to the brighter gamma.

Complementary Colors
Yellow, cyan, and magenta, which are complementary to the Primary Colors.

CYMK: These are the four basic colours that all printers use to make all printed colours from. Known in the commercial printing world as 'four colour work'. They are Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Keystone [Black].

The further you take the slider, the bluer the background becomes. Therefore, up the saturation only slightly by moving the slider to around +20. As they don't have a huge effect, leave Greens, Magenta and Cyan at 0.

For example: To get rid of a green cast from fluorescent lighting, add magenta; To remove a yellow tint, drop in some blue.
Shaky hands. Some video editors have a feature that stabilizes footage by enlarging it, then cutting off the edges.

Using an 80A, blue filter will neutralize the tungsten light and make it appear normal with daylight film. Similarly, fluorescent light is very yellow/green. Using the correct magenta, fluorescent-balancing filter, ...

Special lens systems have been developed which do reduce or eliminate the problem. It can also be decreased by adjusting the levels of saturation of the specific magenta hue generated by the chromatic aberrations on the computer.

The complementary color pairs used in color films and printing processes are red-cyan, green-magenta, and blue-yellow.
