I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the PC *still* does't have any color management built-in. Don't forget, the idea is that what you see on the screen is what you will see in a print -- not simply that it look pleasing on the screen. As of Mac OS X, Colorsync is built into the system and turned on by default, which makes end to end color management much easier -- which is to say, still difficult ;-). - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
