Implementing custom color management

Jul 25, 2012 3:00 AM

Tags: #color #display #management #soft-proof

Hello

 

I need to develop a PS plugin that implements its own color management. In particular, I need to be able to bypass Photoshop's display colour management to do soft-proof of my own, i.e. I need to control the display RGB values directly.

 

Does Photoshop SDK allow for such a control?

 

Thanks in advance

    Sure, you get the RGB values from the document, and can do what you want with them afterward.

    But you won't be able to use Photohop's image display callbacks (which are color managed).

    I guess the image display callbacks are what I need... I need to be able to replace PS live softproofing (i.e. what happens when user chooses "Proof Colors") by my own one, for any colour mode: RGB, CMYK, Multichannel.

     

    Is there any known workaround for that?

     

    Cheers

    You cannot affect soft proofing from a plugin.
