Digital Cameras--Nature's Palette, Printer's Plate

Default profiles are good, and custom-built profiles are better. I believe the best profiles can be achieved when using profiling software that includes visual profile "tuning" tools like what is available in our ColorFlow software.

To understand the complexity of colors in a digital camera, try to imagine that the possible colors which can be reproduced in a digital image are located on a single sphere. Though the sphere doesn't reside in the camera, the sampling of that sphere and the camera's ability to record the colors within, in terms of its mathematical representation, do. The sampling of the sphere, in turn, is metaphorically located within the camera and helps to assign the proper lighting and colors to pictures.
