Recently there was a thread about profile editing features being added
to Photoshop (Re: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 using GCR or UCR). Some
said these features should only be in very expensive separate applications.
I would like to point out to everyone in the color management business
that color management is not wide spread. It is not on every computer.
It is used by a very few knowledgeable color geeks (like me). If we all
want to make big money off of ICC color management it must be on many
more computers.
Remember that the richest man in the world understood market share. He
priced his operating system so that everyone could afford it, not just a
few IT experts. It is my opinion that the manufactures of color
instruments and profile software that don't allow this software to be
moved from computer to computer without registering it with the vendor,
are shooting themselves in the foot. I have profiled many of my friends
monitors. After they understood what I had done they wanted to buy
their own instrument.
I would also like to congratulate Steve Upton for writing an outstanding
ICC utility and pricing it so that all can afford it.
Do your market research. Study the demand curve (price vs. number
sold). Sell instruments that can be moved from computer to computer. I
have no problem with the instrument acting as a dongle. Just get rid of
the registration and activation.
What do other users on this group think?
Ray
