Sorry if this is a bit late...been too busy to do list stuff for the past few daze, but...

You are not a dunce and not alone!  There was a month long thread on the colorsync list over the summer on
'why doesn't someone write a simple book about color management that everyone can understand'.  The consensus
was that it was a complicated subject.  So complicated that the last few posts were about how (literally) a
rocket scientist, who has sent rockets to mars (who is in the list), cannot get a handle on color
management...It is complicated, and apparently takes years to comprehend.

Flummoxed as almost everyone else...
