Ok, now that Panther is out and many of us are running it...
It was my impression from the hype that we would be able to do a
system level profile to profile conversion during printing with
Panther. I can see the premise, by going to the Colorsync utility and
creating filters.
That is the intention
Two questions:
1. Will this work with apps that generate their own postscript like
Quark and InDesign? That was always the issue in the past that
prevented system level postscript color management to fail.
NO. The quartz filters ONLY work with PDF Files. As I see it the whole
system is not intended for the professional market. There is nothing
like rgb-gray conversion or "preserve black" when doing cmyk 2 cmyk
transfomaions.
2. Is the "Intermediate Transform" the same as the input profile? If
not, then where would it be?
To be honest I am not sure what that realy means. I would say this is
the working space because the input profile is defined in the
"defaults" section (I have here a german version so I only can assume
the english words)
To bad Apple has no documentation on that.
What is not working at the moment: PDF/X output
1) The document ID is missing
2) I am not able to have the Output intent profile saved in the
setting. It always reverts back to "leave unchanged". On the other hand
the PDF/X output intent must not change anything so the terminology is
anyway wrong
I would say Apples direction is good and we can hope to get betters
PDF's that are diretly generated via Quartz.
I'm prepared to be disappointed once again.
