Hi Eric.
You said earlier that workflow had changed ..We now do that on a
daily basis at the studio when were fortunate enough to be supplied a
specific target condition gamut . If not , we'll aim at an existing
standard that best suits the intended press destination in addition
to supplying RGB. And a "read me". And a CMYK proof.
Well I was including photographers in the conceptual camp...
We all paint with light <g>.
but I see what you mean, but the fact is that, again they were/are
bound by the constraints of the CMYK gamut - and their product
connected directly with the printing process, who practioners are
definitely are the Cinderellas when it comes to understanding the
science behind colour reproduction...
Even some of the ugly sisters now have a grasp of the science. Now
we can all go to the ball.
And as for DP10, well digital cromalin was built on the
serendipity that Du Pont stumbled across with analogue cromalin,
it was a great deal better than flat bed wet proofs, but coloured
powder on a post-it note, come on.(no disrespect to 3M). For years
we used as a bible a flawed gamut.
And we often had to separate to profiles built on that standard even
though the principle was flawed.The move to ISO standards has been
far too slow , but we are at last getting there
Well, it is still constrained by the same CMYK gamut
Unless you are a photographer working in more than one medium....
, so I guess that makes me a photographer too...
Still got the yellow socks :-) ?
Regards,
Bob.
