KDE: un module de gestion de la couleur

Voilà qui devrait ravir à moyen-terme les artistes qui basculent progressivement sur KDE suite aux améliorations tonitruantes apportées à Krita. Un module de gestion des couleurs fait une première apparition dans KDE, en se basant sur colord. La gestion des profils et la consultation des métadonnées des profils ICC sont déjà disponibles. Il n'y a pas encore de support d'appareillages de calibration, notamment, mais un peu de patience, un projet de plus à suivre! [source: LGW]

Kodak Bankruptcy and Prinergy

Prepress Pilgrim

Okay, the long-awaited Chapter 11 filing of Kodak happened yesterday.

As us tech dwebs know (and it seems sometimes that only us tech dwebs know this) it's relatively simple -- as time goes by -- to replace: consumables, digitial printing, equipment, and even ctp devices.

But database-centric prepress systems? Maybe not so easy.

So with Kodak heading down, down, to Chapter 11 and possibly liquidation in the sometime future, what is going to happen to the prepress system that is driving the majority of the world's offset printers' workflow?

Well, notso easy to figure out. First of all, from what I know, the various Prinergy teams are based in Vancouver (a shadow of its former self), Herzlia, Israel (staffing numbers unknown) and some parts of Asia (I heard Vietnam but what do I know? Probably wrong.)

There are former Prinergy developers working in Vancouver with most of the software development management team over at Copperleaf, with the notable exception of Dave Kauffman who is working with Tantalus.

As it stands now, I can't see any of them jumping back into the Prinergy fold to save it, as the heavy hand of Rochester is still gently guiding the product lineup of the old Creo gently down the flusher. Perhaps if the software division gets spun off, some might be persuaded to have a sniff as consultants. Of course, the code base of Prinergy now resides in Israel, so not so easy to figure out the communication issues around THAT issue.

Interesting to see, the irresistible force of Kodak mismanagement against the immovable object of the Oracle database of Prinergy that is at the heart of so many prepress systems across the world.

Interesting to watch as an observer. Not so interesting if you are participant in the drama.
