hi,
im new to color management and have a few questions. if someone could
help it would be appreciated.
(1) is adobe rgb (1998) a device independent colorspace. are all rgb
color spaces device dependent? if adobe rgb is device dependent then
how come equal quantities of rgb make gray in that color space?
(2) when i use color sync color management how is that different to
using another color management engine. different in this sense: if i
embed a profile in an image is it the profile that is getting embedded
or is colorsync embedding a pointer to a printer profile residing on my
computer, for example. ie, if i open the file at home will it use the
same profile i used in the office?
what happens if someone with windows opens a file that has a colorsync
profile embedded?
(3) how do i change the name of the profile in the photoshop color
management menu? i purchased some profiles from profilecity.com but
they do not use the names i want in that menu.
(4) id like to create some profiles using profilecity.com for the
overseas printers we use. however i know nothing of the process they
use and it is unlikely i will be able to obtain the information. the
graphic design department does not have any information that would be
helpful either. we print on paper, wood, and cloth. any suggestions for
color managing such a process would be welcome.
btw, the graphic designers do not send separations. i think we need
would need the ppd for the postscript printer they use overseas to be
able to do that, correct? and we dont have access to it).
currently the way color is handled is:
one graphic designer works in adobe rgb 1998 and and sends files
overseas that way, or doesnt do any color management. all designers
use coated pantone chips (i think for paper). i think it is used for
all types of material we print on (paper, cardboard, wood, and cloth).
im hoping to purchase the peachpit press book from bruce frazier on
color management when it is available. hopefully it will help answer
some of the questions my books and apples colorsync web site didnt
resolve.
