The ColorSync Advantage
There are many reasons you should consider adding ColorSync support to your products:
-
Working with color is more difficult than many people realize, but ColorSync provides a highly effective system to help you perform accurate, industry-standard color management.
-
Devices age and are subject to continuous inconsistence due to phosphor aging, pigment changes, substrate differences (white point, absorption, reflectivity), filter aging, and change in the life of the luminant.
-
Artists, designers, and prepress experts need to achieve repeatable, reliable, and consistent color--onscreen, in print, and for electronic delivery to multimedia and the Internet. ColorSync is the tool of choice for meeting these requirements.
-
There are many color measurement instruments, an array of profiling software, and a wide selection of production tools--page make-up, image editing, illustration, image database, Photo CD applications, and more--that already support ColorSync.
-
ColorSync is widely available to Macintosh users, who make up the large majority of graphic arts and publishing professionals.
-
Starting with version 2.5, the ColorSync Manager provides an extensible AppleScript framework that allows users to script many common tasks, such as matching an image or embedding a profile in an image. These AppleScript capabilities, described in
Scripting Support
, make it possible to automate many workflow processes.
