Summary
Chapter 29 ■ Color Management 343
Not nearly as difficult as color theory, color management has been made as simple as
possible for users, with single-click monitor calibration and easy-to-use color profiles
that travel with the image from one device to another. Color-management software is
dominated by two companies—X-Rite and Digital Color Solutions (Datacolor)—with
other offerings by Kodak and PictoColor. X-Rite has brought together technologies
from Europe and the United States, melding them into multiple product lines to cater
to all color-management needs. Most of the products described in this chapter are
complete solutions that include either a colorimeter for measuring emitted light from
a monitor or a photospectrometer for measuring reflected light from printed color
swatches.
