Here's a brief summary of how the Color Profiles tab in the NCE now works:

  • Honor PDF tags.  Unchecking override honors PDF tagged profiles
  • Replace PDF tags.  Override checkbox overrides ICC profiles.  Correctly.  It does nothing to rendering intents.
  • Honor PDF tags.  Setting CMYK and RGB intents to Default and setting Default to None honors the rendering intents in the PDF.
  • Replace PDF tags.  Set CMYK, RGB, and Default to whatever you wish other than the setting mentioned above.  
The changes to the color.html file had to do with defining how rendering intents were applied for each type of object. The object types are separated into 4 categories: picture, text, vignette and Other. Picture refers to any images. Text refers to fonts. Vignette refers to gradients and blends. Other refers to vector fills, strokes, linework and imagemasks. For objects that aren't CMYK or RGB, the selection from the Default rendering intent will be applied. Rendering intent overrides will not apply to device link profiles as those are calculated when the device link is made based on which rendering intent was selected when generating the device link.


Below are some images that outline what different combinations of the settings will do. I've also attached JPEG files of these images in case you want to store them somewhere.

An additional note from Mark:

If you change an option on the TRA step like the color setup, then this is honored over what’s in the NCE’s selection.

You can change what’s in the NCE, but that doesn’t change what the TRA uses. It honors the user’s override.

You can ‘refresh’ render configs in the step, still no change.

 

Only two ways to ‘get it back’:

1. Choose another render config, then go back to the render config you’ve been working on.

2 Manually select the one you’ve been working on in the NCE (and have selected in the NCE).

 

Now, the color setup selected in NCE will be in effect, either as the default from the render config (#1) or overridden to coincide with the NCE’s selection (#2).
