Cross-platform color |
|
Cross platform color management refers to managing color between different operating systems. Getting your Mac and Wintel monitors to match and your printed output to be the same is a difficult task. Luckly, several things are in place to help, and others are on their way. - ICC Profiles - are platform-independent by definition. That means you can easily move them from machine to machine. - Adobe Photoshop 5.x is available on both platforms and implements color management (mostly) the same way on both. Some things working against you are: - The gamma settings can be quite different between the Mac and PC. Photoshop can compensate for this when designing, but when displaying on different systems you can have problems. - Windows does not implement color management on nearly the same scale, nor do as many content creation programs support ICC color management.
