I have read much of the material you suggest, and I've visited <a href="http://colormanangement.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">colormanangement.org</a> a number of times.<br>
<br>
I can greatly appreciate how much workhas been committed to this project and the book that you and<br>
Gregory authored, especially since I have subscribed to this list since 2006, knowing I would need Scribus and need all of the referencematerial I could obstain.<br>
<br>
I suggest that with Color Management, we must leap into a whole 'nother conceptualization beyond pts and type, and margins and all of that, and that the terminology for color is complex. I.E., I do appreciate all ofthe work that you and others have committed to this most precious project.<br>
<br>
I feel a "dire" need--as a color managment newbie, reading and re-reading--for some clarification of the differences or equivalences of the following terminology:<br>
<br>
<br>
1) When is it "gray" and when is it "grey"<br>
<br>
2) What are the differences between "color sets," "palettes," "profiles," and "swatches (204 items)."<br>
<br>
<br>
I expect that this is more work than anyone would want to take on, but I also suggest that if people like myself are going to "grok" colormanagement, we're going to need a little more clarity, in the beginning help pages, with the fundamental terminology.<br>
<br>
People do not learn in the same ways: Everyone has their own gifts and blank spaces.<br>
<br>
Mylife is a continual reminder of a profound experience in HighSchool:<br>
<br>
I was exceptional in Geometry,which came a year before Algebra.<br>
<br>
Therefore, the school assumed that my geometry gifts would translate naturally into algebra, so they put me in Advanced Placement first year algebra. I was not from a wealthy family, but my town was very highstatus.<br>
<br>
In the highstatus of Advanced Placement classes, people were laughed at for asking basic questions.<br>
<br>
I graduated Advanced Placement algebra with a "C," but I did _not_ beginto understand what a _variable_ was until I forced in 1986 to learn Turbo Pascal programming, after spending my first year with my IBMPC/XT and then finally understanding how to copya file from one floppy to another...<br>
<br>
My apologies if this is too long, or too much of a 'plaint...<br>
