I am also curious to see people's thoughts on this. The whole idea of using
a $5000 spectrophotometer and a $5000 color management package is so you
get more accurate color more quickly...or so I thought. Now I realize that
color management is a moving target, and that no one should expect to get
push-button color right off the bat, but the whole concept of editing the
resulting profiles seems to be contrary to taking exacting measurements in
the first place! This seems akin to just tweaking your RGB guns on the
monitor to match your proof in a D50 light box...after you buy a $500
colorimeter and $100 worth of software to calibrate and profile your
monitor! Where does it all end? My opinion of color management at the
moment is that it isn't there yet for many of us. Those of us that work in
a production enviornment don't have time to devote to mucking about with
it. We just need it to work...yesterday! To get there completely (again,
for some of us) still requires the help of a consultant and the comments of
people in groups such as this. Just my 2"...
