app and printer driver based color management), so the "Color Management" view available in WIndows app versions (resembling those provided by Adobe apps) is something that has never existed on macOS versions of Affinity apps? In Adobe apps this is the way to produce "on-the-fly" conversions much the same way Adobe PDF exports are created, and the available options are printer driver dependent. Both clearly modify document color data but only physical media would show how the colors would actually print compared to the what is shown on the display.Īs for ColorSync, I am not sure whether it is basically equivalent to Microsoft ICM (host color management vs. I can just say that they produce highly different results when using identical settings and profiles. I have produced for a while print files from the same source using Adobe app color handiing and Affinity app color handling. It makes the color management process for printing very consistent.īut doesn't Adobe use by default color management engine of their own (ACE) - or does Acrobat show these options also if you choose system color management (ColorSync)?Īnyway, I'm lost with this.
You can then simply turn off color management in whatever print driver you are using. This makes sense to me and is the reason why setting the color conversion from working space to printer space upstream in the application is important. If it does, they will be organized into accessory categories & named according to whatever the driver specifies, and some of them may appear only in combination with others.Īpple claims this makes including printing functions easier for developers & simpler for users, but in practical therms it means that users wanting to use any of the 'advanced' printing features offered by the macOS have to figure out how they can be configured with each printer they use for each app they want to use them with, & even among printers of the same type from the same manufacturer the configuration & choices may be considerably different. So for example, the color matching options will appear only if the driver for the selected printer 'tells' the printing system it can provide color matching options. So among other things, both the "accessory" items selectable from the popup in the lower part of the advanced printing dialog (like application-specific options, scaling, color management, & so on) and in which of these "accessory" items any of these items can be found depend on what the print driver makes available to the printing system.

As I understand it (which is far from completely), the Mac Affinity apps rely on the multi-layered printing system architecture built into the macOS to print out documents.
