Re: [Digital BW] ColorSettings/ColorSync/Embedding?

Here is my two cents on color management.

Color management works well IF it is fully implemented in your workflow.
This means calibrated monitors in tightly controlled environments with
custom profiles for each ink paper combination and device. However, once
you miss a step or cannot fully implement a color mangaement system they
cause more problems than they solve and you are better off turning
everything off and going by the numbers.

I have seen too many people chase their tails trying to set up a color
management system only to throw the whole thing out because they would/
could not fully implement it. All it did was cause more problems.
