Color management workflow has been in place here at The Spencer Museum of Art for three years. I have just finished a grant funded project to digitize our collection where we made over 23,000 images in the last 18 months. I will be teaching the complete digital workflow in workshops at the Mountain Plains Museum Association conference in September and the MCN conference in November. The short version goes like this: with a MacBeth colorchart and Photoshop, I can show you how to manage color by the numbers. This eliminates stuff like monitor variations and poor vision from the equation. This is a tried and true method and other researchers have independently come to the same conclusions. Hope to see you at one of the workshops!

I know of a few places (Yale University Art Gallery has been very helpful as we develop ours), but has anyone smaller had any success? Thanks, Ann S.

Along with digital capture technology, you may want to inquire about match print / color management workflow. Those answers will be interesting to read as well.
