Last but not
least, forcing people who do not have a clue
about prepress or color management to convert their print content to
CMYK
is simply not a very smart approach.
Absolutely.
But then again Kodak, Apple, PhotoDisk, Heidelberg . . . everybody and
her neighbour specified color in deviceCMYK for all marketing until
recently, and some probably still do for all I know. It's about putting
one's mouth where one's money is to some extent -:).
but here is a fat wave coming our way: digital cameras, alreayd now or
within in very short time the source of way over 90% of all images. A
digital typically does not give us CMYK files, but rather RGB files of
some kind. Even if most often sRGB is used (which admittedly and rightly
so is not a prepress pro's darling) this is not that bad for non-
professional and semi-professional work. Let's get to a situation where
these image files are left as they are - ICC profiled RGB files.
