Color calibration For an integrated, color-managed workflow, choose a calibration device from GretagMacbeth or X-Rite to create custom ColorSync profiles for your Apple Cinema Displays. Technology Overview 26 Power Mac G5 Design and Print Bring your ideas to life with the new Power Mac G5 and publishing tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia Studio. Whether you're designing for print or for the web, you can realize your ideas as fast as you can imagine them. • New dual-core and quad-core Power Mac G5 systems crunch through huge images and layouts. With symmetric multiprocessing, you can burn DVDs, generate PDFs, or print in the background while you continue to create. • Up to 16GB of main memory enables fast manipulation of massive media files. • Fast PCI Express graphics cards and 3D-savvy applications like Maya, Modo, Motion, and After E∂ects allow you to add movement and dimension to your designs. • With four PCI Express slots and two DVI ports on each graphics card, the new Power Mac G5 can connect to up to eight Apple Cinema Displays, so your imagination has an ultralarge playground.5 • Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed I/O provide high-bandwidth connections to networks, printers, scanners, cameras, and storage devices. • The Quartz graphics engine in Mac OS X renders breathtaking content across mediums, while ColorSync ensures perfect color from capture to edit to output. Mac OS X Tiger also includes Automator, which allows you to automate repetitive tasks to streamline your workflow. Professional color management The Power Mac G5, Mac OS X Tiger, and an Apple Cinema Display enable designers to implement an entirely digital, color-managed workflow-improving the quality of printed output while saving time and money. Apple's groundbreaking ColorSync technology, based on the International Color Consortium (ICC) standard for color management, is built into every phase of a Mac-based design workflow. From capture to edit to output, you can be sure that your color translates accurately from one device to another. Apple Cinema Displays work as your virtual color palette, with advanced panel technology for flicker-free viewing and twice the brightness, sharpness, and contrast of a CRT display. Use a calibration device from GretagMacbeth or X-Rite to calibrate your Apple Cinema Display, and you'll enjoy consistent color proofs, reduced express shipping expenses, and fewer mishaps in the proofing process.
