It's partly the result of not having control over where it goes from me. The collector magazines are low buck affairs that really just wing it. I don't know of one that has an accuracy based production system. On the other hand, in my real life I work on an ad account that bills about 150 million dollars a year. None of the work is produced on calibrated monitors. It's all done by eye, just as it was when photographs were sent to separation houses for production. Looking good is often better than exactly right. And exactly right doesn't ring many bells outside of the techno world. Paul On Jan 7, 2007, at 6:20 PM, Digital Image Studio wrote:
