Sometimes you take it for granted that you know the simple stuff, at
least until someone asks you a simple question.
A friend asked about the Color Settings > Conversion Options > Engine in
Photoshop. The options available are Adobe (ACE), Apple ColorSync, Apple
CMM, & Heidelberg CMM. His question was that if Adobe (ACE) is chosen,
doesn't this disable Apple ColorSync and Photoshop's ability to see the
monitor profile?
Well.... Good question. I'm a little confused by the choices myself,
now that I look at them. I always thought of ColorSync as the
color-matching structure into which various components could be placed,
i.e.: the color engines, or module, or method, or whatever CMM is
supposed to stand for these days.
Imagine ColorSync as a Buick. It has tires that make it roll, a seat for
the driver, and a steering wheel to make it turn. Now into this Buick
you can drop any one of a number of . . . you guessed it . . . COLOR
ENGINES. You could choose the Apple CMM V7, or the Heidelberg straight
18, or maybe the Kodak rotary 3. ....Or if your traveling down Photoshop
Road or Illustrator Way, how about that hot little Adobe ACE!
So why are Apple ColorSync and Apple CMM offered as an either/or choice?
And it does seem that by choosing the generally recommended Adobe (ACE)
engine, that Apple's ColorSync would be disabled. To quote my friend's
e-mail . . . . "What am I not getting, here?"
