However, there is so many layers of processing and color management that it can get stressful for a lot of people that want to just process digital images. As Mono stated, for many there will be perfectly acceptable images that look fine with minimal processing, but for me, I am more immersed in it since I am often involved in supplying files or prepping files for a third party, where it starts to get technical and costly if files are to be handed off to a vendor in a certain way. And, I need to know that it will print as close to my monitor as possible so nobody (client) freaks out when they get their purple, not blue logo printed!I think every digital photographer should know how to set-up their Color Settings to a default, acceptable color spaces for RGB and CMYK and know to convert jpeg images for the web to sRGB to preserve quality. CMYK should not be a concern for most photographers. If need be, I refer you back to my original post.</blockquote>
