Color spill

Color spill occurs when the dye or pigment from one area of a photo or print unintentionally spreads into neighboring areas, causing unwanted coloration. This typically happens during printing, scanning, or photo editing when colors bleed beyond their intended boundaries, leading to a less precise or distorted appearance. It can result from ink diffusion, poor separation of colors, or digital processing issues. Managing color spill involves adjusting color settings, improving separation techniques, or using editing tools to correct or minimize the unwanted bleeding to achieve cleaner, more accurate images.
