Hello Jan-Peter

I´m seriously thinking to offer a seminar at the ICC-developers
meeting in November with the title:
"The Tiger disaster, learning from the mistakes of Apple"
Give me the date and I'm in the boat as well.
What should Apple change in the next versions of MacOSX and their own
applications:
1. Transparency, transparency, transparency
I'm still waiting for the book John Zimmerer promised long ago.
But I don't expect it anymore, since he left Apple.
------------------------------------------
Apple has more or less hidden the colormanagement for their own apps,
the printer-driver an PDF-generation via printing dialogue.
For the professional user, it is essential to know:
- which profiles are assigned for untagged data ?
- in which cases are profiles embedded during saving / exporting files
- in which cases are automatic colorconversion triggered ?
- what are the rules for such conversion ?
- How can the user change the rules ?
- How interferes the OS with applications and printerdrivers during
printing ?
- How interferes the OS with applications and printerdrivers during
PDF-export via the printer-driver ?
To add: Which CMM is used, since that setting is gone too.
1. Give us back the central colorsettings
-----------------------------------------
Every colormanagement aware OS and application needs a colorsetting,
which describes, how untagged data are handled.
The idea to hardwire this colorsetting for MacOSX and the Apple apps
is mad. Give us immediately back the colorsync control panel.
My words as Tiger came.
This are are my 50 ct, for an colormanagement-aware OS, which
addresses the needs for graphic arts professionals.
I have come to the conlusion that this isn't in the interest of Apple
anymore,
since all can be done on a PC too.
So I added my 50ct, Jan-Peter there is 1 Euro in the box ;-)
Viele Grüße
Rolf
