Michael:
Switch to the dark side of color banishment (Winbloze). Everything's broke
all the time anyway so you never have to fix nothin'! (tongue planted
firmly against cheek)...
QUOTE:
We're just lowly graphic designers here, without a press (or presses) to
fingerprint, working in a variety of color spaces. Color management for us
has always been little more than the experienced use of our *eyes* in a
balanced lighting environment (color booth), and *common sense*. Being Mac
users, we've always just turned Color Sync OFF, because at first it was
nothing more than a broken promise. As it has grown in complexity, it has
become simply too difficult to understand (and therefore impossible to
trust) without virtually changing the direction of our careers, and
becoming color scientists. This is a very unfortunate situation!
A workflow WITHOUT PROFILES has been very good to us for many years.
Until OS X, that is. In OS X, we haven't been able to figure out HOW to
turn Color Sync off! And our first rudimentary tests indicate that it is
invasive. Which is a very scary thing, indeed. So it looks as though we're
being forced into this complex, boiling cauldron of issues, opinions,
methods, and suppliers, just to defend ourselves. (The "Tower of Babel" in
the Bible was just a prototype; THIS is the production line!)
So now I'm spending way too much time reading, and here I lurk, in the
shadows. <slither, slither>
