Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that the Links palette *IS* a very logical place
to put this information.
As far as image color settings is concerned, my understanding is that Adobe
doees not expecte that the RI and source profile are not going to vary too
much once the image has been placed. Therefore, I am not sure I need to
review each image color settings as I am sure, once I tag images one way --
such as tagging the PhotoDisc target with AdobeRGB + perceptual -- I don't
really need to change that anymore. The one thing that will change is the
Separations profile and that is quite selectable independently. Actually,
this selective tagging capability is mor flexible than having a "document
source profile", don't you think?
Which brings me to a related subject. I think the interface is clear as far
as bringing RGB (or Lab) images in. Tagging them and understanding how they
are be converted to Document CMYK space on the way out is clear to me. But
if the images I place are already in the Document CMYK space -- such as US
Web Coated SWOP v2, how will the image be handled when printing to the
Document space as opposed to the Proof Setup space? In the former, the
device colors won't change -- since they are already in Document CMYK space.
In the latter, one would have to be careful to select RelCol in the image
color settings to control how they will be handled when converted to the
proof space? Or is the Proof Space RI overrides the image color settings?
Did not have the time to test this and I admit I am a little confused.
