Graeme,
I applaud documenting a better gamut mapping method. I think this is
exactly what needs to be done to advance the technology and the
industry.
There is no doubt there are other methods more valid and functional
than what we have today. I've been a sort of schizophrenic when it
comes to ICC. On the one hand the architecture is prescribes is
problematic, and the politics of the companies who have inserted their
own biases into the process have made it less useful for end users than
it should be. I look forward to either the ICC maturing beyond
politics, or something else coming along to take its place, for the
sole purpose of making it more accessible to users. But on the other
hand, ICC is what we have to work with today, and given its limitations
it actually works quite well (room for improvement not withstanding).
Still, my main point is that for quality results today, we need black
point compensation. For the average user, perhaps black point
compensation is not perceived to be important which is why we don't
have black point compensation as an option in ColorSync. But apparently
even the average user has no need to distinguish between rendering
intents because we don't even have rendering intent control at print
time using ColorSync in the printer driver.
