- This sounds very interesting. Unfourtunately I can't get any substantial
- information from this release.
-
- If ColorSync is just consisting of software, how is it able to match different
- monitors and different output devices with each other?
-
- To callibrate a monitor I usually have to use some sort of instruments
- (i.e. hardware) which measures the colours displayed on the monitor and
- the coulours printed on film or paper. There is also the famous BLUT
- (Brain LUT) which is the user's way to "see" the colours on the monitor.
-
- So have do we intepret this "industry standard" provided by Apple?
-
- Is there anyone out there who knows what ColorSync is?
