A photographer friend of mine is starting a stock photography company. Her
small company will market and sell to primarily small and medium sized
graphic designers.
She's asked me what the best way to supply the images (from a colour point
of view). My question for list members is, What is the most fool proof way
of properly conveying the correct colour meaning in the images? Many of the
users of these images may have no or little knowledge of colour management.
My concern is that people may not apply the proper profile.
That said, my take on it is to supply images in Adobe RGB (1998), with
embedded profile, and hope that most people simply use the embedded profile
and don't discard it. Would the consequences be less severe if the user
didn't use the embedded profile if the image data were in a smaller-gamut
space, like ColorMatch RGB?
What method(s) would most likely guarantee good results most of the time?
Many thanks,
Matt Larmour
