Derrick,
Enough!
Everyone in the color industry refuses to implement diagnostic tools.
Then when something doesn't work it is always someone else's fault -
Adobe, Apple, Integrated Color, Xrite.
Why can't the DDC specs for the monitors be public and documented ?
Instead you and other companies profit from the good "private"
relationships that you have with the monitor makers which allow you
access to the SDKs.
Why can't there be a clear pass/fail test to see whether an
application is applying CMS correctly, with the apposite profiles and
rendering ?
Why is there no test tool that would allow a user to verify whether a
profile is being applied correctly to the data being sent to an inkjet
printer ?
There is a general complacency in the color industry, that such tools
are not necessary. It's not quite a conspiracy, but almost. Now you
claim Apple has "broken" DDC with the latest update. I'm quite willing
to believe that, but seeing that the DDC behavior of monitors is not
fully documented, you and others are now in a bad position to claim
that it is broken.
