As an end user I despise your efforts.

Keep it tough, make it harder. Make it more expensive.

Do anything in your power to prevent my competition from adopting it.

Cheers,
Curtis

That pretty much sums up the feelings that the consultants on this list had when we started our businesses (many of us over a decade ago). Welcome to our world.


You'll want to find a balance between billable time with clients and time spent with software and hardware manufacturers helping them make their products better. I try to be a good steward for the end user and send detailed suggestions (complete with UI mockups) to manufacturers so that they might make their products more intuitive for the common user. Face to face dialog, when possible, is always good. Beta testing is exhaustive work but when done exceptionally well, is beneficial for all in the long run. One has to pick and choose areas to donate to and make a living at the same time.

Recommending smart, elegant solutions that work well with a minimal amount of user intervention is a big part of bringing color management to the masses. Color consultants absorb the headaches so others don't have to. Making it (relatively) easy for other people is satisfying work. Cheers!
