QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi David,

You are right -- color management was a major motivator for this new
program.  I tried unsuccessfully to work with Apple
and Adobe to get CM to work correctly again after new Photoshops and
new OS's.  Although they tried to work together and
came up with undocumented methods it only worked with RGB not
grayscale files and drivers.  I don't think either really
understood/accepted the other's point of view.

So Print-Tool should work just like the old CS2 and CS3 and old OSX.
You've got the No Color Management and the
App controlled (i.e like Let Photoshop Determine Colors) way that uses
exactly one CM conversion.  The only difference
being that Photoshop uses Adobe's color engine but Print-Tool (and
OSX) all use Apple's ColorSync engine for the
conversions.  (the problems all arose not from which engine but the
fact that things were often double profiled).

Old profiles should work just like they used too.

Should we expect that printing through the Print-Tool and QTR will be equivalent to printing with CS2 and "Let Photoshop Determine Colors"?
