Abstract

This paper begins with the transition from analog to digital photography, and the expanding role of the now digital museum photographer. The problems of color accurate digital image capture of art and artifacts are discussed, and a simple method using readily available tools to calibrate monitors, profile cameras, and adjust the profiles to obtain color accurate RGB files is presented.
