It would seem to me that open-loop color management could solve a lot of
these problems.   Just require that the submitters process the images in
Photoshop on a calibrated monitor, and make sure the color-space profile of
the image (e.g. Adobe RGB) is embededded in the image file. The embedded
color profile plays the role of the reference standard.

Otherwise how do high-end magazines use advertising shot on digital?
