Apple's Ken Bereskin on Jaguar's ColorSync Utility

- "ColorSync technology ensures that the representation of color remains true and consistent from input capture devices, displays and printers. Like so many technologies in Mac OS X, it is based on established industry standards and provides benefits for professionals and consumers alike.

In Jaguar, we include the ColorSync Utility that allows you to see and manage all of the profiles installed on your system. You can view the Lab plots for each of the spaces and can assign any profile of your choice to an installed scanner, camera, display, printer or proofer." Ken forgot to mention that ColorSync can be bossed around with AppleScript.
