Hello to all remaining ColorSyncers! Having been an avid fan of the often passionate and flaming debates that this list brings, I thought I’d say hi and goodbye before it’s demise. I’ve never had the need to post a comment before, as most topics have been above my pay grade, however, I have enjoyed the wealth of advice and experiences that the many and varied users have taken the time to share and debate. Thank you all for your dedication and passion. It would be a great shame for this professional forum to concede defeat and succumb to the belief that just because the majority of end users do not care about nuanced (living) colour, in their fast paced click, swipe, click “maconsumerist” lives, that the minority need not still strive for visual technical brilliance. Perhaps the users of this list are having a longer lockdown break, to reassess real world colour management needs, in a post covid / pre artificial intelligence world, where devices pre-empt the needs of the end user, as silicon and software become increasingly speedier and more sophisticated. The esoteric knowledge of ColorSyncers, has by it’s nature been an irrelevance for the majority of end users, it would be a shame for this list to become an irrelevance to it’s target audience due to the belief that their combined expertise is no longer required... perhaps the demise of this list reflects the demise for legacy 20th century colour management technologies in the 21st century? In light of the popularity of screen based media content and it’s nanosecond shelf life, it appears that the overall visual effect rather than colour accuracy, is the order of the day... except for those with a more discerning eye or the luxury of time for some professional navel gazing. For those that are still thinking in colour, this message is supposedly typed in black ink on a white background, which is quite possibly neither absolutely black or white, but perhaps a duotone of light and dark grey (gray), either way, it will still convey some from of meaning to someone(?!). For those of you familiar with Monty Python... https://www.bing.com/videos/search?view=detail&mid=925CB32F81FBD16F82F0925CB... parrot sketch&shtp=GetUrl&shid=f957dd83-9f94-4001-be23-094eac355099&shtk=VGhlIFBhcnJvdCBTa2V0Y2ggLSBNb250eSBQeXRob24ncyBGbHlpbmcgQ2lyY3Vz&shdk=TW9udHkgUHl0aG9u4oCZcyBGbHlpbmcgQ2lyY3Vz4oCdLCBhIEJCQyBjb21lZHkgc2VyaWVzIHN0YXJyaW5nIEdyYWhhbSBDaGFwbWFuLCBKb2huIENsZWVzZSwgRXJpYyBJZGxlLCBUZXJyeSBKb25lcyBhbmQgTWljaGFlbCBQYWxpbiB3aXRoIGFuaW1hdGlvbiBieSBUZXJyeSBHaWxsaWFtLCBtYWRlIGl0cyBkZWJ1dCBvbiBCQkMxIG9uIE9jdG9iZXIgNSwgMTk2OS4gVGhlcmUgd2VyZSA0IHNlcmllcyBpbiB0b3RhbCBhbmQgdGhlIHByb2dyYW1tZXPigJkgbm93LWljb25pYyBza2V0Y2hlcyBpbmNsdWRlZDog4oCcQmljeWNsZSBSZXBhaXJtYW7igJ0sIOKAnE51ZGdlIE51ZGdl4oCdLCDigJxQYXJyb3QgLi4u&shhk=q%2FNIALI6RNqWcVef24mFm2wAmAkzIoJPHUY6qTF036g%3D&form=VDSHOT&shth=OVP.QA9xg2kgv-Uh8gEAUlqNhwIIEk A customer enters a pet shop. Customer (Cleese): 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.) C: 'Ello, Miss? Owner (Palin): What do you mean "miss"? C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! O: We're closin' for lunch. C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it? C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it! O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting. C: Look, my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage! C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead. O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting! C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! Hopefully this list will be more Flaming Phoenix than Norwegian Blue! Take care all... like I said at the start... hi & goodbye!

As we will be too in some time :) Strange how the traffic dwindled away.
