Explaining my workflow does not require a degree in physics.
I sure don't have one - ask me how many times I had to take algebra.
My monitors and printers are calibrated/profiled (it really helps).
Images are delivered in whatever file-types, color-spaces, and resolutions people need.
Here's two fabulous resources about digital best-practices and terminology, in plain language – for free.
dpBestflow
www.dpbestflow.org Funded by the Library of Congress, administered and produced by ASMP
(The American Society of Media Photographers). The LOC wants the digital assets it is tasked to preserve
to stay safe for a really long time. It's accesible for every level of expertise, from the most basic onward.
You don't even need to register.
There's also a book, if you get tired of looking at a screen:
Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow Handbook
by Patricia Rusotti and Richard Anderson, Focal Press 2009.
The Plus Coalition
www.useplus.com PLUS is a consortium of companies and organizations whose aim is to clarify - and rationalize -
useage and licensing terms, and inspire best practices between photographers and clients of all kinds.
Lots of people have signed on, from major publishers to Adobe. Soon, image-tracking will be a part of the system.
