QuickDraw operations do not get any automatic ColorSync conversions.
However, it's not like it's hard code to write. It's only a few lines of
code to get a the source profile, the display profile, construct a color
world, and match the bitmap. Printing is even easier. Get the source profile
and call one routine in the print manager. Having recently added stuff like
that to some scanner stuff I was doing I was pretty impressed with the ease
of implementation. The ColorSync team has done an excellent job here.
Anything using Quartz gets matched automatically as I understand it. I think
all you have to do is tell it what source profile a bitmap should have and
it does the rest.
If I can do this in a afternoon, I don't understand how iPhoto can not
support it.
Beers for everyone! :-)
