We've also put open Camera Raw color management on the Tokyo agenda,
in the hope that the camera manufacturers will attend and discuss
interoperable solutions for Raw color management.
But the reality is that nothing will get done anymore in either print
or photo without the major player, and this player appears to have
gone totally autistic with respect to color management.
If anyone here has any pull with Adobe, then it might be time to
request that their color geeks actually come to the ICC sessions and
discuss interoperable workflows that normal humans can be expected to
implement.
As it stands, Adobe expect the rest of the world to magically provide
them with a functioning environment as per ICC spec. But the rest of
the world just plain cannot get that done without them.
I am now incapable of being *certain* of getting color-reliable prints
from any Mac machine I own, when printing from Photoshop, as various
system bugs, app bugs and printer driver bugs and sundry updates
collide and interact from version to version. As for camera color,
it's impossible to expect similar color from two different model
cameras.This is appalling.
In order to spread the blame around a bit - you can rent me but you
can't buy me - let me add that the industry has resisted developing a
simple diagnostic test, by means of instruments and known test files,
that would allow *consumers* to determine whether their color pipeline
is operating correctly. The color equivalent of a battery checker, and
connectivity tester. As it stands now, when things go bad one first
has to notice the bug - by eye- and then go hunting for it.
