site- List of Color Management Myths

This is a great list of Color Management Myths from the ColorWiki- the folks who make ColorThink, the software that the core idea of Color Pipeline is built on... not only the myths themselves, but little explanations of the truths.

preview: the Color "Path"

...here's a little tease for you. The Color Pipeline is built around a revelation I had one day in the wee hours of the morning... colors follow a "path" through the process of capturing, editing and printing a photograph, and if we could track that path we maybe could understand it a little better, and control the colors a little more, well, effectively.

From that idea grew the Color Pipeline... and credit is due to Joe Holmes, Nick Wheeler and Michael Oh in patiently holding my hand along the way.

This diagram grew from my original chart, pretty much scribbled on a napkin. It shows the track of colors, what happens in each step, and how the colors "connect" from one phase to the next. Kara is adding captions, and it will be a little clearer, but this is the core idea. (We're talking about making a board game of it... remember "Candyland"? ..."Colorland", maybe? stop me before I kill again!)
