Hello! My name is Marti Maria.
I am the author of the Little CMS color engine — the color management library used by thousands of companies worldwide since 1998.
The Little CMS business model is straightforward: the code is free and open-source, and our training lets your developers use it quickly and correctly. In most cases, a course costs a small fraction of what the same knowledge would cost in developer trial-and-error time.
More than 30 companies — including some of the biggest names in the color industry — have already taken these courses. I teach every session personally.
There are plenty of color management courses out there. Why choose us?
Simple: we actually created the color management software most others are using. If you just want to learn how to operate a program, you probably do not need us. If you want to understand and write color software, then we can help.
Course formats
Courses come in two flavours that can be freely combined:
Tutorial
Concept-focused sessions suitable for everyone — no coding background required. Ideal for product managers, colour scientists and QA engineers who need a solid foundation without writing code.
Workshop
Hands-on sessions with exercises. Requires working C/C++ knowledge. Participants leave with real code they can use immediately in their own projects.
