I'm curious to know why it's so maligned. have you actually used it? it
probably got poor reviews from CM experts because they can't make any money
off it.
I am extremely pleased with Colorpro. the fact that it isn't ICC-compliant
is pretty immaterial. I would prefer that it was but at the end of the day
it's what's on the press sheet that counts. customers couldn't care less
about ICC conversions. they just want their stuff to look nice.
there isn't anything that does what Colorpro does except a warehouse full of
Photoshop operators. and it does lots more than conversion and resampling.
