Click here to watch the video on Vimeo. I remember someone in the graphic design industry (quite well known actually) posting a tweet saying, "Colour management is bullshit!" The picture that flashed through my mind was of graphic designers and brand managers hanging out at the printers, tweaking colours on the machine before they sign off on a job… And yet here we are at Queensberry, printing for very fussy photographers (often on the far side of the world), putting the prints into really pricey albums (sight unseen) and flying them at great expense to Europe, or North America, or Hong Kong. The stakes are really high if things go wrong. I'm really proud of (and grateful for) the trust those photographers show in us. Queensberry lives and dies by colour management, and it's not bullshit. On the other hand it is a potential minefield of misunderstanding and things to go wrong. Jessica Mills works at the coal face. She and Ian Calhaem are New Zealand Colour Management, who are our colour management consultants. We have the utmost respect for both of them, and their rigorous commitment to quality. I spoke to Jessica about colour management, colour correction and personal colour preferences; the importance of device calibration; and getting your colour management right. What she has to say is dinkum oil from the real world we operate in. We apologise for the occasional flakiness of the video. Here's the link to NZCM's website, and here's Jessica's personal page on Facebook. After this I thought I'd interview someone from the front lines, our own Philip Laing. Cheers, Ian I only found out after the interview that Jessica's a big fan of Tom Waits, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Neil Young. We could have talked for longer.
