I’ve spent a good portion of the last two days playing around with color calibration issues. I’m using GraytagMacbeth’s Eye-One Match, a Canon 5D, an Apple 20” Cinema Display, an Epson Perfection V500 flatbed scanner, and an Epson Stylus Pro 4800. I’m pretty close to getting the results I’m hoping for, but I’m not quite there. Also, I’m still not confident that the custom color profiles I’ve built will propagate through all of my Adobe Creative Suite applications the way I need them to. I really need to dial this in.
The local weather forecasters seem to agree that the weather around Seattle should be nice through Sunday (Mother’s Day), and I’ve hoping to get some good camera time in. Things have been remarkably cold and wet this year, and I’ve let it keep me from shooting. It’s easy to justify sitting in the darkroom for days on end when it’s cold and wet.
On another note, Paul Nissan caught up with me yesterday afternoon, which was a pleasant surprise. I hope to see him again soon. It would be fun to collaborate on some projects.
