Abstract

In light of the acceleration of local events, the press release demonstrated its capabilities in reporting the event and changing some of its events. As a result, there was great competition between international news agencies, and as a result of this competition, it became necessary to provide high-quality photo-journalistic services. The researcher has noticed a weakness in the color quality produced by the service pictured by the Middle East News Agency. The photojournalist needs to transfer the colors of the scene in front of him to the recipient as seen and photographed, but digital photography does not allow this concept of adjusting the color as required due to the different devices used during the production of the digital image. This requires the photojournalist to process the color at every step he takes, and if only one step is not controlled, the accuracy of the color transfer will be lost. That is why there is an imperative to have a CMS in the workflow.  Despite the importance of the local, regional and international MENA news agency, as the official Egyptian news agency, and despite the fact that the team of photojournalists working for the agency at a high level of experience and the quality of journalistic performance equals the expertise of photographers with other international news agencies, it is Reduced color quality has been observed with digital photojournalistic images produced through the agency's pictorial service, compared to other international news agency websites on the Internet. From the paucity of studies related to the chromatic control of the digital press image, the importance of the research stems. The research follows the descriptive analytical method to describe the concept of color control and its relationship to the digital photo and the analysis of press images from international news agencies, including the Middle East News Agency to identify the color problems in the agency's digital photo
