It seems most people's latest color related issues stem from trying to
invoke color management on the OS level with ColorSync. I've come to
think
of ColorSync as more of an idea (or a color architecture) then part of
the
OS. Sure, its there for us to use, but it seems to (given the recent
flood
of posts to this list regarding this sissue) create more problems than
it
solves. I say TURN IT OFF! Do all of your color management up front in
Photoshop. Bruce stated it very clearly in one of his latest posts:
Well, yes. Trouble is that while the procedure outlined does manage
keep color information from being mangled, under the hood you can NOT
turn off the OS level color management. The procedure with Photoshop
is fragile because it depends on coordinated set of undocumented
assumptions about application, print system, and driver behavior. If
any component violates any of these assumptions--print driver most
likely--the whole thing just won't work.
The message to Apple is that the colorsync-in-printing architecture of
MacOS X is broken in a couple respects and confusing across the board.
I won't repeat all the details which have been posted and re-posted to
this list numerous times.
