Hi, I am almost finished updating my "old" patches into the new version of pdftops. The new OverprintPreview code interferes with it in PSOutput.cc, and I suspect that is why the patches were dropped. The old patches are actually three sets of patches: part of the implementation of -binary, a bug fix where level2sep and level3sep wrote rgb color instead of cmyk color, and an optimization to write color images as mono if they contain only shades of gray. I am redoing my old patches to use a single case block instead treating level2 and level3 in a different case block than level2sep and level3sep to avoid repeating code. I still have all of the test files and scripts from when I wrote the original patches, so I can test the new patches well before I post them. William
