Smart Color for Digital Imaging

One of the key technological challenges facing the desktop imaging industry is achieving automatic color matching between dissimilar imaging devices (scanners, monitors, printers). This has proven to be a more illusive problem than the original WYSIWYG challenge of desktop publishing because of the many complicating factors involved in color reproduction and, worse yet, our perception of color. There is no universally accepted mathematical model that describes what we see when we look at a complicated color image. Since we can't yet accurately describe it, it's hard to encapsulate it into software.
