Dear Roger,
[...] by all account, a profile
name coded as "F39ICU.icc" for "Fogra39ISOCoatedUCR" is anything but
intuitive. Perhaps Klaus's suggestion of using the ICC registry as one
central profile repository and documentation is one way out of this mess.
Linotype/Heidelberg had a comparable naming convetion with Profile names
like "Offset Euro pos U360 K85 PO4.icc", but I don't know if they still
use it.
By the way: I successfully established a naming convention for CMYK TIFs
in my company:
If someone in my company uses a file named "foobar sf1 iCpd.tif"
he knows
- it's created or modified by my company (sf)
- it's the first Version (1)
- it's deviated from a media independent PSD named "foobar sf1.psd"
- it's for ISO Coated (iC)
- it's converted using the perceptual intent (p)
- without BPC (t, "Tiefenkompensierung" in German)
- with dither (d)
and he instantly knows how to make version 2 or what to do if he needs
the image for a different printing condition.
It works perfectly with every Profile we use regularly (e.g. "iW", "iU",
"iY", "iN"). I think something like that can only work company wide, but
it's realy useful.
Regards, Klaus
