As a photographer, none of this matters because

1) Pretty much nobody has calibrated monitors (even Apple devices aren't perfect)

2) Pretty much nobody has monitors higher than 8-bit per channel

3) Pretty much nobody cares about having accurate colors, especially photographers and videographers who "grade" everything to whatever looks good.

4) Pretty much nobody can tell the difference.

Technology has been good enough for a few years now to produce stellar high resolution prints, let alone Instagram or Facebook material.



that's funny... I kind of wrote the article exactly because all those points apply to my workflow. You're entirely welcome to your own opinion, but just because it's good enough for you, doesn't mean it's good enough for everyone =)


True for pictorial photography but color accuracy is very important in other fields, art reproduction and science for example.
