There's also the question of how to handle sharpening in a
late-binding workflow. The sharpening that works nicely for a
175-lpi halftone won't work all that well on newsprint. Hell, the
image resolution that will work well for a 175-lpi halftone is
massive overkill for newsprint.
This is correct, but again the valid approach is to agitate for it
rather than to write off late binding because there is no current
solution, as discussed.
My purpose in pointing out the current limitations of late binding is
get them fixed, not to write off the idea. It's a great idea. It
would be an even better idea if it could be made to work at least as
well as early binding. Right now, it doesn't, for all the reasons
I've mentioned.
A shoe catalog that contains images of a mahogany-colored loafer and
a white tennis shoe simply will not be well-served by using a single
KGen, no matter what the photographer does. That does not necessarily
mean that we have to develop an architecture where each element in
the page layout app can be mapped to a different output profile. For
example, Adobe Camera Raw has produced the ingenious solution of
using two profiles for each supported camera, and controls that tween
between them. We could do the same thing on output for KGen, tweening
between a light and a max K.
I'm entirely open to solutions. I'm not prepared to dismiss the real
problems as either imaginary or irrelevant.
