yup, I'm using a few modified one minus method from adobe, etc., but it needs some work. About 5 years ago someone on this list gave some different ones, but I don't remember them. I don't see any functions to get transformation profiles from a ColorSync lib either.

Probably not someone on this list, as this list was created in 2001 or so.

In any case, you don't "get transformation profiles from a ColorSync lib." That's not what ColorSync is. ColorSync is an engine for performing color matching. So you set up a transformation using a source and destination color space, and then ask ColorSync to apply that transformation to something. You can apply a transformation to an individual color, for example. Or you can apply a transformation to an entire image.

On one project back in the late 1990s, I replaced some simple custom CMYK->RGB code that operated on whole images with calls to ColorSync. There were dramatic improvements in both speed and quality. I suggest playing around with it to see if you can achieve the same for your needs.
