I am teaching photography at a community college, including digital
courses. My students and I are frustrated by the complete lack of color
management in the digital lab.
Although I have been working with calibrated monitors and
printer/scanner profiles for several years in my commercial work, I
haven't been able to get the folks at the school on board. (And the
graduate MFA program I am involved in at another school runs a
Colorsync savvy Mac lab.)
The objections from the guy who oversees the lab is that there is no
guarantee that your client will have a calibrated monitor, so why
bother. He says he runs uncalibrated monitors "to get them used to
working in the real world". I suggested to him that the students don't
know what the files they are working on really look like with the
monitor they way they are.
I am sure there may be other comments, but the main question I have is:
In the "real world", how accepted is the use of color management? That
is, are there any figures as to the percentage of art directors,
prepress houses, publications, etc., who work in a color managed
(Colorsync) environment. I am looking for ammunition to carry back to
the department head.
Thanks,
