I'd be very interested in a review of this if anyone gets ahold of a copy. The problem with most workflow and color management guides is that they assume that you have multiple sources of input and a single destination.

I have a single source of input and a wide variety of output. Some require sRGB. Some require some CMYK variant. Some Adobe RGB. One can nearly handle all of ProPhoto RGB.

If Adobe let me select which color management policy to use on a per-project basis I would be in good shape. But I can't use the Bridge Synchronization very well if I'm working on multiple projects in the same timeframe. I wish I could switch as easily as I can recall workspaces, and have Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign all update for that project. Like, tell it that all files that are stored within a certain parent folder should be handled as Adobe RGB, while everything under this other project folder gets sRGB.

But no. I have to switch my entire color management system frequently. And then hope that I don't screw up and forget to change back before opening and working on a file that is already half complete.

Anyway, if this book has an answer I'll be a very happy man. Otherwise I hope Adobe will someday understand that we don't all work with the same medium for all projects.
