Doesn't it make sense to use Monitor RGB as editing space, if Mac OS
X converts anything into Monitor RGB before printing, anyway? One
conversion less ...
It's a less than ideal situation because Monitor RGB is always
changing if you calibrate/profile your display.
Of course, completely logical. I could have thought of that ... (color
management is beginning to affect my brain :-/ )
I'm not sure if TIFFany uses Monitor RGB or if it lets you select an
editing space. I'm pretty sure it's Monitor RGB, so you may not have a
choice.
It lets me choose between "Ignore Profile" and "Convert to Display" ...
:-/
But "In Printer" mode shows that it can at least be printed a whole
lot better than all the CMYK profiles suggest ...
Could be:
1. Crummy CMYK profiles.
2. The profile was made for a printer mode that does a bad job on
blues than the mode used when you send it RGB data.
3. The printer simply does a better job on RGB data overall, than it
does on CMYK data. In which case I'd want to make an RGB profile for
the printer, and make sure OS X normalizes everything to that space
prior to printing.
3.) is the variant that I'm afraid of, which is why I want to get all
these CMYK <> RGB printing issues clear before I commit to making CMYK
custom profiles.
