I was not aware that Dan Margulis said that, but 
it doesn't surprise me, and in fact I'm pleased 
to have such prestigious "backup."

And as it turns out, I am a big Dan Margulis 
fan... hence my rotten attitude about ICC 
color management, etc.  I think, once you 
start working in the "Margulis" mode, you're 
probably spoiled forever from using these fancy 
profiling and monitor-calibration tools.

I really think anyone seriously involved in 
"digital darkroom" owes it to themselves to at 
least hear out Dan, or read some of his stuff.
(He's the author of the "Professional Photoshop" 
books.)

Ask yourself -- how did the pros manage to get 
nice looking colors before the ICC came along 
to "fix" everything?
