An introductory tutorial on the principles of color management

Serious photographers now have great tools for making sure that their images have the same appearance on a monitor, a print, or when projected. However, effective color management requires some planning and some effort. I have put together a brief tutorial on color management (calibrating, profiling, etc.) for my own education and hopefully to help others. This is not so much a "how to" guide as an introduction of the principles of color management. If you are interested in this topic, please take a look:

Enlarged photographs from SCP

The book SCP is now available from several sources.  Some of the photographs are more effective when enlarged, so I am making available high resolution copies here.
