In the recent RMI newsletter Robin asks and defines the issues within this
question
<http://rmimaging.com/information/Chromaxion_Issue_4.pdf>.
The only thing Robin seems to have missed was that by going through the Lab
connection space, some colors are changed. This disrupts my color output
more than anything. The problem has been shown with great specificity by
Bruce Lindbloom at
<http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?MunsellCalcHelp.html#BluePurple>,
from <http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?UPLab.html>. I was told that
this problem was going to be corrected by a "forthcoming" revision
initiative (10 years and counting), which also seems to have gone away.
Is it time to move-on to some more responsive system.
Working from an iPad doesn't allow color management. Won't we need an app
to do that? Slap to the forehead... or is that what Apple is
facilitating -- the creation of a color management app for their
app-selling-machine, the iPad?
I happen to know that the original proposal for colorsync was
equation-based, rather than LUT-based. The LUT technology was added so that
manufacturers could differentiate their various product levels using "secret
sauce" back in the 1990s.
In the meantime, product levels seems to have gone away. All the highend
profile engines of the past have been bought and eliminated, except for
ArgyllCMS (which has always been grassroots, but now with a mini-GUI). Or,
have I gotten that wrong?
ColorMunki vs i1Pro vs i1Pro2 all seem to use the same profile engine in a
different wrapper. Or, have I gotten that wrong?
