Anybody familiar with this?  Is this applicable to the printing photographers are doing?

The press release was from Feb 20, 2008... how could it be dead already    The is the first time that I have heard of this, but it does sound interesting.

Well resurrection I guess.

CF was around for years and years, never supported and all the people I knew at Kodak that handled it disappeared or left. So I guess this is somewhat good news. It was always a powerful but truly difficult product to use. I'm actually surprised its surfaced after all these years.

I live in near Kodak-land, and many of my patients are former Kodak-ers. The brilliant technological ideas invented by their research division which were then thrown away because the bean-counters wanted to sqeeze a few more years out of the film cash-cow just make you want to cry.

The Great Yellow Father has been notorious over the last few years for grandly announcing ambitious new schemes, then dumping them at the speed of light when demand doesn't immediately reach "management targets". So I'd be extremely skeptical about signing on for any Kodak color management system.

Near as I can tell, this 'Colorflow' scheme is a high-end commercial pre-press color management "solution" for very deep pockets.

Some years ago I bought the Colorflow Kodak Custom Color plug-in for Photoshop for an acceptable price and I still use it.  If I remember it correctly it was once the favorite profile editor of color gurus.
