Mac OSX 10.2.6 - Profiles
/library/ColorSync/Profiles - Adobe RGB (1998) Phase One supplied Adobe RGB
(1998) profile. Flags = Best Quality
/library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/ Adobe RGB
(1998) Flags = Normal quality
Why the different flag qualities is Adobes' Normal' inferior to Phase Ones'
Beset Quality or have Phase One just substituted Adobes term from Normal to
Best for reasons only known to them?
My colour management studies have resulted in adopting the following colour
management policies:
Monitor and printer calibrated using Eye One Pro spectrophotometer.
Adobe Photoshop 7.01 CMM setting - Adobe (ACE} using Adobe RGB (1998) working
RGB colour space
Colorsync settings - Default profiles all set to Generic
ColorSyncs CMMs - Automatic
I understood that by selecting automatic in ColorSyncs CMMs choice it would
allow my Photoshop CMM choice of Adobe (ACE) to operate without ColorSyncs
Apple CMM interfering ?
However checking, ColorSync Utility - Profiles, I notice listed under the
Generic RGB Profile details - Proffered CMM : Apple.
Does this mean in basic terms OSX uses Apple CMM for all applications (unless
application has own CMM option) but bows out to Adobe (ACE) when Photoshop is
in use?
I am somewhat now confused as I expected to the CMM listed as other than
Apple.
