What a refreshing piece.
The author doesn't gently steps around the issue to a degree, but makes it clear that there are.. issues with color management.
Color management makes certain that, for a standard observer, the picture will look the same on the screen as on the print, or as near as possible. Color management vendors and proponents tend to ignore:
- basically nobody is actually a "standard observer", although most of us are quite close
- making sure that the screen matches the print is NOT the same as making sure that either one of those matches the objects that were in front of the lens
Color management does a thing, but that thing is but a piece of the puzzle, and a surprisingly narrow one at that.
