Apple just announced that its ColorSync color-management technology will be integrated into a future version of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Mac OS. Integrating ColorSync APIs (application programming interfaces) into Microsoft's web browser will provide Internet users with a more reliable and accurate representation of color on the web. This integration means that users will no longer need to install browser plug-ins to trust color on the Internet. By extending color management to the web, the market for ColorSync-enabled applications is likely to expand and create new business opportunities for content creation professionals. The technology will allow for the creation of new Web Commerce sites, where the customer perception of color is a critical sales tool.
