ABSTRACT
If you’ve made it this far and your brains haven’t exploded all over the pages, congratulations! The last chapter in this journey is intended to be a lighter, kinder, and gentler experience. This chapter is intended as a reality check about color management Nestled into this chapter I’ve asked some highly respected photographers, printers, and color geeks to share their thoughts on color management, where it is today, and where it needs to go in the future. The working title was “Color Management: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” I’ve learned a great deal from this illustrious group over the years and hope you find their thoughts on the subject enlightening and educational. What follows is either a transcription of interviews or simply a compilation of thoughts, “in their own words,” on the topic of color management.
