Thanks, by your: >So the X Standards require an Output Intent Profile, which lets everyone know what the expected destination profile is Output Intent Profile terminology has always confused me - compared to how Photoshop uses source and destination (which seems much more intuitive) would your Output Intent Profile represent the document Source profile or a profile or standard based on the print space? ...

I really like that post, rob day I don't know if I understand it all yet beyond 'profile on / profile off' (for monitor display purposes) and for sending CMYK 'numbers' straight to the printer but it is clear Acrobat color management takes a lot of practice and observation for most people to figure out... ...

likewise, if your PDF is untagged - and you set up your printer to Convert to a print space ICC profile - you want to be aware of the same issue (the Source profile you are using for the conversion must be correctly assumed) ... View more

further, if your PDF is un-tagged (it does not contain an embedded ICC profile) - or objects within it have been mis-tagged or mis-converted it will most likely not display correctly in Acrobat UNLESS Acrobat's working RGB/CMYK profile matches the document's correct color space UNTAGGED DOCUMENTS: Acrobat will apply/assign/use its working RGB/CMYK profile for its conversion/translation/correction to the monitor space just like photoshop i am not positive about all the Acrobat export presets, but that has been my experience ...

You mean the dark blue R1 G1 B5 in the left side i don't see how any printed media could reproduce 1/1/5 as anything other than black to the naked eye even the right side RGB 0/1/14 but whatever color you are trying troubleshoot, a solid fill may simplify but to the visual mismatch on the screen you must get your source profile and color settings in order and nothing in color-managed Adobe apps will match until you: use (apply) the same correct source profile ensure your color settings are not changing your source document at that point Adobe apps should use the embedded profile and make consistent color translations/conversions/corrections to the monitor profile lastly, if you are using pantone spot colors in Adobe, i would expect room for error on the monitor between apps - it seems more of an art than a science to most users and not too many people know how Preview.app deals with pantone and spot colors in PDF, but if it's correct (what you want) that's a huge clue... ...

>> With most higher end displays being wide gamut, if you work in almost any 3D apps, the output from the framebuffers are generally not color managed. it is almost impossible for most people to edit sRGB color (with any degree of accuracy) in a non-colormanaged environment using a so-called wide-gamut monitor >> some people I know are calibrating their displays, but abandoning the use of the generated display profile and instead leaving windows in its default sRGB color management settings.  As I'm a Mac user and don't run into this, I was curious if doing this has the same effect as clamping the gamut at the hardware? Is this just a software version of this?  Doing this basically throws out all color management, but basically converts everything to the same color space (sRGB) and then the outputs regardless of the application match. i really lost you there after your first sentence - but if your destination color environment is based on sRGB you may do better at your "3" option above (either "Don't buy high gamut displays," you wrote, or set an sRGB preset on your monitor and hardware profile it, as someone else wrote). >> I'm unclear what window's CM system is actually doing if left unaltered vs actually setting up proper CM. the last time i looked at Windows - it passed through the source RGB 'numbers' to the monitor without altering them and the half-color managed Windows apps (Adobe excluded) Assigned/Assumed sRGB then Converted i am not so sure Windows OS and "proper CM" go hand in hand (until you introduce an app that actually reads an embedded ICC profile and Converts to a proofing space, like a monitor for example but your milage may vary... ...

Andrew, yes, at the end of the conversation i believe we all agree on what you are saying >> You always assume when assigning a profile. i think you are referring my making an assumption (presume may be a better word there) that the profile i Assign (i.e. Assume) is what the creator intended (regardless if s/he's worked off a bad monitor and/or stripped the profile AND i am trying to get the color back on track to PROOF it on the monitor or paper) >> Unless you've stood over the designer on his end, with his display and software, you're assuming what the image should look... i believe it is extremely RARE for most down-stream shops to have benefit of that scenario in the real world, but you make a good point i would add that most of the time when the majority shops receive something they don't understand - they steamroll over it and rarely contact the creator to resolve the issue beforehand ...
