The point that I was trying to make is that the PDF/X construct
doesn't solve any color issues (other than PDF/X-1 dictating that
everything be in CMYK). The fact that 88% of interviewees reported
that the PDF's they're receiving are built incorrectly means that the
odds are against you constructing an adequate PDF file and against
your receiving correctly built PDF files.
The output intent is one more variable that will most likely be
innappropriately used.
In my experience one can talk a pessimistic view, in which case one
does not make the attempt to begin with, or one can take an optimistic
view in which case one has the difficulty that everyone else is
pessimistic -:).
In the 1998 - 2001 timeframe the pessimist position was that image
design studios would never be able to set rendering intents manually
for single object / single space workflows, let alone for multiple
object / multiple space workflows.
The premier image capture platform, LinoColor and ColorOpen, remained
with automatic settings and the premier image editing platform,
Photoshop, moved from automatic settings to manual settings.
The current pessimist position might want to consider that application
software implemented according to the previous pessimist position is no
longer part of the market, so maybe the pessimists have got something
wrong -:).
Thanks for the historical information. Very cool.
IMHO the color people have learned to haggle for a higher price by
claiming they can open the doors of perception, while the type people
have learned to haggle for a higher price by claiming they can open the
annals of history.
The page designer is caught between these extremes, the Historicist and
the Perceptualist, and is also saddled with understanding the mechanics
of separation planes and screenings in the Adobe Imaging Model.
If these poor people are not to be driven nuts, we had better come up
with some simple conceptual synergies that can get them on board -:).
Thanks,
Henrik
