Attendee Feedback
Feedback from the attendees was mixed. Many found the presentation to be exactly what they needed — demystifying the final critical steps in their current color management workflows:
“Great presentations. Very informative.”
“Excellent presentation — somewhat too complex, but very useful and thought provoking.”
“Complex topic, lots of good info that will take time to digest.”
Others felt the presentations were too complicated:
“Color calibration is complicated. I am not sure if the basic idea is clear to most people — most people still seemed confused. For most designers the info for today’s meeting will not be useful — it is far too complicated.”
Additional feedback included the concern that email addresses given by attendees would be sold to vendors and marketers. It is the policy of the user group not to sell, or give away, any information about its members.
Raffle
We gave away many great prizes in our raffle (see the winners on the Photo Gallery page). Thank you to all who participated.
