Wellspring mounted canvas

20x27"

 

Do you have any idea how stoked I am on how amazingly linear the color reproduction is here, and without herculean effort? I mean, it's a digital file created on an "uncalibrated" monitor, pushed through a ICC profile, printed on canvas, then lit by a light, photographed with a digital camera, pushed through more software in Lightroom, back out to a JPEG and then viewed on a different monitor. And the damn original file looks nearly the same as the photograph of the canvas print. By rights it should not work, something ought to get hosed along the way, right? But no, it totally works. Ain't computers grand?

 

But the thing is, to get from this level of git 'r done linearity to full bore Dead Nuts, it takes thousands of dollars and much frustration and hair pulling. I hate to sound like McDonalds makes the best hamburger in the world, but damn, it's hard to complain even with the 3/4 ass approach. And Dead Nuts is a moving target, you're always screwing yourself. You can't control the display environment. That's why public exhibition is the only way to ensure total control.
