Still ignoring nimrod.
But others are not ignoring your misinformation and confusion!
Tim, you've been very productive in the last 48 hours, let's see what your readers have learned other than, maybe don't be a reader of your posts. You appear mostly a glutton for punishment. Quite an accomplishment for just a day posting here!
Magenta is the invisible hue...
Invisible, then we are told editing Magenta is subjective.
D50 display which isn't a neutral white.
Wrong and corrected by a fellow who is the author of ArgyllCMS & ArgyllPRO ColorMeter. What color management products did Tim author?

It's clear Andrew hasn't edited very many daylight images seeing he isn't a photographer any longer and is just a technology writer.
He doesn't understand what a professional photographer is nor what a technology writer is. Tim, let's trade photo client lists here; I'll start, here are some of my clients who paid me to make photographs:
Corporate Annual Report and Advertising photography specializing in people. Clients included Apple, GTE, Forbes, Microsoft, Smart and Final, Disney, Mrs Gooch’s (they became Whole Foods), Epson, the LAOOC.
Do tell us about
your photography clients, do attempt to be factual as it should be easier than writing about color, a subject you seem the need to study a lot more and write a lot less about.
