Title: Colour Management

Abstract: Faithful reproduction of colour images is often assumed to be the operating system's job. How to adjust image colours correctly, however, depends on the user's needs, and so cannot be a fully automatic process. I will discuss colour management issues and standards, and why the standards have not been completely effective.
