Hi I picked this up from the Apple ColorSync list. <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html>
It's all about ColorSync on OSX. It's aimed at developers, so some parts may go into far far more detail than you really want to know :-) Abstract "ColorSync has a new role in Mac OS X. ColorSync on Mac OS X is fundamentally integrated into the operating system, whereas on previous versions of the operating system it was an optional install. Color management is very important these days to the customer experience. The Mac OS X graphics environment Quartz takes advantage of ColorSync in great detail, plus ColorSync is used throughout the print-path to provide color matching services for printer drivers." For the brave it even shows things like soft proofing... "Soft-proofing via Quartz filters is now possible from the print dialog. Simply click the "Preview" button in the print dialog and in the Preview window you'll now see a check box titled "Soft Proof" in the lower-left corner of the window." bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
