Hi
>Is there a recommended method of comparing ICC profiles for equality? There is no exact way to do that, because same colorspace can be encoded in different profiles otherwise numerically equivalent. In practice, it is enough to check whatever both files are equal DISCOUNTING THE HEADER. This is important because some flags may be changed when embedding. V4 ProfileID is computed taking the MD5 of whole profile after header, and this would be enough in most cases.

Hi everyone, Is there a recommended method of comparing ICC profiles for equality? Would you recommend stringwise comparison of the Name and Description, (or Manufacturer, Model or something else), the ProfileID (roughly what percentage of profiles in the wild have them?), or performing a binary comparison (or MD5 hash comparison) of the whole profile? Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me... All the best, -- Alastair M. Robinson ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
