It does manage color profiles for displays, but it doesn't embed them into files, nor can you transfer them between machines.

What you said was accurate. Anyone who says otherwise either doesn't understand how colorsync works on the mac, or is full of it. There's no way to sync colors across machines. I've tried for -years-, and the only solution I could come up with at the time was to go to kinkos and use a mac, which led to my original G3 purchase, just for photoshop.

Besides, colorific/colormatch/whatever is -not- ColorSync. They're just management packages so you can calibrate a display to display true white, among other things, and manage web color schemes. Nothing is embedded into files, nor trasfered between hosts. I have two windows machines using colorific, and if I move a PSD between them, they come up entirely different even though they have (virtually) the same card and monitor.

And for the record, I have a GeForce2 and Radeon in my windows media box, both use colorific, and both have different settings for the different displays. I couldn't match them if I tried.

The TiBook for example, automatically matches whatever display I hook up to it to the LCD.

Photoshop can embed colorific profiles (actually they're colorific-set photoshop color profiles) into images, but that's only photoshop, and no other apps. They'll come up different unless you have exactly the same setting on exactly the same machine you transfer it to.

They're on crack. Colorific doesn't do cross-machine color management. It's only for calibrating displays. Only Apple's ColorSync and things like OptiCal under IRIX can do that. Save postscript, color management under windows is a joke.

Pick up an o2 on ebay one day if you want to REALLY know what video and color management are like. PC's and even Macs seem like toys by comparison.

If you can deal with IRIX's annoying little quirks, it rocks.
