>> waste too much time fine-tuning RGB slides
How about interfacing to a color hand scanner <G>? Automatic color input.
>> I wonder how dependent color display is on monitor choice?
It's dependent on both the monitor and the display adapter, but would
undoubtedly be good enough for the purpose. Graphics artists and others who
need precise color matching (to match standard print colors, for example) use
color standards and calibration programs.
>> choosing between a raw database and one coupled with a manager program,
>> remember a manager can make some things easy
OTOH, a manager coupled with a proprietary data base can make it impossible to
do anything that isn't built in. As long as *I'm* not doing the work, I vote
for an xbase file AND a search engine <g>.
