Hi, Bob, this is Doug Rosen at Markzware, running FlightCheck 6.90.
This is build 50, which is the current. We have a new build in Q.A.,
build 51 and that will probably be out shortly,
but in answer to your question, we actually do...
you can see the ICC profile. It's not real straight-forward.
Here, it's just flagging
here the images and telling you
what image has an ICC profile.
And in this Mode column here, if you see an asterisk
next to that, the asterisk means that it has an ICC profile.
The job can also have an ICC profile associated with it.
In this particular job, it's an InDesign CS6 job,
and I placed five images that all have
different ICC profiles. So, in order to see
what that profile is for each image, I double-click on the image name, and that
brings up what we call a sub-overview window, and here you can see
the ICC profile assigned to that image. So, this first one has PAL/SECam.
The second one has CIE RGB.
This CMYK image has US Newsprint Snap 2007.
The next one has Japan Color 2001
and the final RGB
has a Wide Gamut RGB.
Now, right now that I can find, this is the only way that we can see
what the ICC profile is for the image. When I do a Collect Report,
it's not putting that in the report.
The other thing that I can do
is, if I drag a bunch of images in, they'll all bring in separate windows.
So, let's take a look at that real quick.
Okay, this is the folder of images I actually used in this InDesign job,
so, if I just select all of these guys
and drag them to an open window and FlightCheck,
it'll pre-flight all of them separately
and bring up
an overview window for each image,
and you can see here in the window, it's showing me
the ICC profile for each image.
So, there are a couple of different ways, when you pre-flight an image,
it's considered what we call a Top-Level Document.
So, it will get, you know,
here, we go. See this image here.
It's a TIFF file,
Wide Gamut.
This one here is a TIFF. It's got CIE RGB.
This one's PAL/SECam, and this one's the US Newsprint.
So, there are ways that you can
get that, but it's not real straight-forward, at present.
So, if you have some suggestions on how we might
do that better in the next
iteration of FlightCheck,
now, please send us suggestions. We'd be happy to read those through and discuss them.
