>>Ben Goren <email@hidden>: The point of color management is to
both define a standard set of criteria by which to judge all of those
variables and to provide consistent ways of transitioning between the two.
Bruce Fraser (sadly missed) used to discuss color management using a
dictionary analogy.
I may mangle this but, basically, what I took away from his discussion
when I was learning about color management is that by hardware (vs. by
eye) calibrating my monitor, I am setting my monitor to a known state
which essentially defines which language the "dictionary" is using. This
then allows me to use other language "dictionaries", that is, different
(color managed) devices (like printers, monitors, etc.) each of which
has its own (color management) language "dictionary", so that the
"translation" from one language (device) to another language (device)
results in a match, in predictable color (within the limits of current
technology).
So...somewhat simplified, when I'm in Photoshop (or whatever imaging
software that uses color management) and I've chosen my color management
options, I adjust the color of an image and when I send that image to
another device (another language)--my Epson 4000 printer for
instance--the translation from monitor (device, language) to printer
(device, language) to the paper (another device, language so to
speak--no pun intended...'-}}) I'm printing on is both predictable and
accurate and the printed image will match what I see on my screen.
