Today I read a post in a forum and felt very frustrated and angry.
The OP asked how to use his printer profiles and got an answer
(and it was the only answer) "just add it into an appropriate folder.
Then go to proof setup and choose Monitor RGB".
Hell!
But I won't blame him. The one to blame is User Interface.
Color management can be simple or confusing.
But the User Interface in Adobe products are terrible.
Too many menus scattering everywhere, and they can
cancel-out each other.
Why is there Convert to Profile in Edit and Proof Setup in View.
Yes you can argue that to Proof is to see the right color,
so it should belong to View. But I think it could have been better.
And then in Proof Setup, why must I check the Display Options
(Simulate Paper Color/Simulate Black Ink) while it should have
been already checked.
Why must there Macintosh RGB, Windows RGB, Monitor RGB ,
Working CMYK, etc. When user can do it manually.
Too many choices = confusion.
Actually I think if Adobe sticked with Photoshop v5 policies
about Color Management: only one working space (each for
RGB and CMYK). People will understand Color Management better
by forcing them to do things manually.
Just a rant.
