Assign- Convert - Proof Colors

>I know, sorry I can't same the same about you.

So sorry not to meet your provenly high standards.

So, at the cost of interrupting the oh-so enlightening banter by repeating myself -- one assigns a profile, and, if it seems to fit, then it fits. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

If you would deign to reply from the height of your lofty expertise, what is "false" about that?

>Oh, you are a color management pro? Nice.

I know, sorry I can't same the same about you.

>I fully understand why the true pros in the field of color management resent Mr. Margulis, and righfully so.

I don't. At least not as much as I do you.

Marco,

Your post #51 is dated earlier than my #50. Hope you can still read it.

Marco.

I, for one, have very much appreciated your comments and observations. Thank you.

I don't read or even see all the messages in this thread, as I do have a plonk list, but I do know at least one frequent contributor who revels at turning any discussion into a personal attack in the Photoshop Macintosh and Photography forum, then tries to accuse his interlocutor of doing exactly that. Transparent psychological projection, I suppose.

Since that contributor has the same first name you quote in #48, I guess that post may be directed at that person, who happens to idolize Margulis. (Yes, he's now plonked.)

Let me stress that I have absolutely nothing personal against Dan Margulis. In fact, I have seen him at conferences and in no way do I dislike the man. He even reminds me of several very good friends I have in Russia.

I do acknowledge that the man can be a magician at color correcting images for press printing, as I believe I have stated here too.

My beef with his teachings stems from the considerable damage done to me personally by his Professional Photoshop book at a point in my life where every minute counts in term of life expectancy.

Having strived to ameliorate that damage, I learned as much as I could about color management, so I fully understand why the true pros in the field of color management resent Mr. Margulis, and righfully so.

You started out having an intelligent discourse but when it took a left turn into the intelligence went right.

Sorry Marco, but to me it sounds like you just have some private vendetta against Margulis. Have you actually worked with some of his ideas or are you against them only because you don't like the man.

Most of the complaint I've read against Dan simply aren't true, especially if you've actually read the books. His techniques are completely compatible with modern color management. If fact, using both together makes you a better, more effective imager, but you'd actually have to open your mind to enjoy those benefits.

Amen, Peter! Let's forget the origin and focus on techniques that work. Let's build up, not tear down. There are lots of ways to achieve high quality results. Nobody has all the answers.

Because often times assigning a profile other than the one that came attached to the image is not the one that will finally fit. It's a means to a different end. Indeed it is a false profile. There's nothing wrong with calling it by a name that seems to make a lot of sense - false profile. The big objection it seems, is not the name, but the person who started calling it that.

DYP - I'm in your corner on this.

Ok then lets call it assigning none correct profile.

I think you know exactly what I mean why nitpick about?
